Have currently been trying out Grammarly.

 

Not that impressed.

 

Personally felt that it was not that useful, as spelling errors were already generally well covered by most programs.

 

However.

 

Grammarly does find quite a few other errors that Word and other programs have missed. . . but generally they are things I do not care about.

 

Most commonly I have simply not used commas correctly, or I have left out a word that the rules of English demand but that no English reader would be confused by not including.

 

Things like "This word appears to be missing an article" or "These two words are probably not good together, consider: " or something like that, those were made-up examples.

 

I certainly would not recommend paying for the software at this point, especially because there have been a handful of times where Grammarly generated a pop-out window to edit text in and after I made the requisite edits, they did not appear in the actual web page where I was typing.

 

Could be user error, but if so, ask yourself if the software is user-friendly.

 

So give it a try if you like, and remember, you'll never do anything by purpose, so don't do anything on accident.

 

That's my grammar nazi tip of the day.

 

BTW, Grammarly didn't recognize the second of those two errors.

PC hardware still on a budget, 2 graduate degrees later.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 780
