"Spelling and grammar check" is singular; "spelling and grammar checks"
would be plural.

Word returns the message "Spelling and grammar check is complete". I know
it's referring collectively to a tool, but the sentence has two subjects
so
the plural "are" should be used. I wonder if I typed "spelling and
grammar
check is complete" in a word document, would spell check catch it.
