Default The grammar checker should recognise ablative absolutes

The spell checker will not recognise an ablative absolute; for example, where
a person writes something as an antecedent to a result clause:

"This considered [ablative absolute], it would be helpful if...[result
clause]"

The spellchecker currently assumes that the "it" in the example above is the
subject of "considered."
