Grammarly — a tool worth using

As soon as I got my eyes on a tool called Grammarly, I thought of a few people who make grammar mistakes. A lot. I just have to recommend Grammarly to them.
But before recommending anything, I tend to use the tool myself and be sure of my recommendation. It helps with a credibility along.

As I was writing the first paragraph that you just read, I made two grammar mistakes that I noticed immediately, but Grammarly noticed them too and offered corrections right away.

That is great because sometimes we continue writing and simply forget mistakes we made, even if we glanced them.
Out of a hype and urge to publish, our content goes straight to the internet, whether it would be an email sent or blog post published.
And later on, when people have already read our post… We see everything with a new pair of eyes. It looks bad. Very bad.

Of course, it is not always that bad. But By using Grammarly, we can be more confident while publishing anything.

And even if your grammar is good and attention span is long enough to remember all of your mistakes and mistypes… There’s always punctuation.
Grammarly checks that also. And it turns out to be pretty good for learning where to put commas in your text, because it explains why the comma should be there or why it should not.
Most of us learnt those punctuation rules for conditional sentences and everything else at school or university, but having a companion to check them and remind them to us is really comforting.

What is more, while I wrote this article alone, Grammarly found three critical mistakes which I noticed myself as I typed and three commas that were needed (or vice versa). Well, commas in English were never my super-strong side.
Also, it says that I have 10 “advanced issues” for which I need to upgrade. I wish they gave some sneak-peek for their premium version because it is curious what “advanced issues” did they find, but having to pay 11$-30$ a month is a bit harsh not knowing what you’re gonna get.

And last nice thing about Grammarly? It has various extensions, including Chrome and Microsoft Word and Outlook. Chrome one works nicely with Facebook, Tumblr and few other sites. Word extension… Well, it is not really convenient. But hey, they do have a minimalistic online editor, which I am writing in at the moment.

To sum up, I would recommend giving Grammarly a try. It is free after all. I know I will be using it way more often, just to have more confidence while writing.
