Do grammar checkers really work?

Let's take two sentences...

Let's take a sentence and add nine grammatical mistakes by changing word endings. We'll also add one confused word (personal for personnel) and see if a grammar checker works.

Original
Our professional fees depend on the responsibility, skill and time needed to complete the engagement. Such fees reflect our standard charges for different categories of personnel.

With Errors
Our professionally consultancy fees depends on the responsible, skill and times needing to completed the engagement. Such fees reflect ours standard charges for different categories of personal.

Microsoft Word's grammar checker only finds one fault. It says 'consultancy' should have a capital letter.
