Grammarly a great tool for spelling and grammar corrections

There are so many articles I have read that are clearly not properly edited in any way, with loads of spelling and grammar errors.

Often I can see it is not a Native English speaking person and that is fine, but often it is a Native English speaking person which is concerning.

When I see an article by an English speaking person that is so littered with mistakes it makes me think that the person has not taken any care with writing.

There is such an easy (and free) solution and this is Grammarly.

If you struggle with English then I suggest you check it out!

Thank you very much for your advice Lynne, and I'm sorry for not being native in English.

I've never used Grammarly but I will give it a shot. I often use Google Translate and to be honest, it's kind of crappy. However I've never used Google Translate to translate full sentences. I use it to spell check a specific word or to look for alternative words to use. That being said, I'll try to use Grammarly instead, perhaps I'll find that one to be more useful.

Andre I have actually never used Grammarly myself but I have a number of blogging friends that are not English speaking and they said they were really struggling with writing, then when they started using Grammarly they said it went so much easier.

I don't think that there is a perfect tool for correcting spelling and grammar but from the feedback I have had from lots of people Grammarly is pretty close.

Don't apologize for not being English LOL, I bet you have a sexy accent LOL

Haha yeah, if sexy sounds like nervously-stuttering with a tone of Swedish pronunciations. LOL

In all honesty, even if I'm quite confident in my level of English understanding and actually quite comfortable with my writing in English, I don't like to speak English. Which is why I don't create videos for instance. I've never been comfortable with having a webcam or whatever up in my face, and I've never liked to talk English because of that. Not that I'm scared of using the wrong words or something like that. Mainly due to the accent actually. - If I can't speak fluently, then I won't speak. Well, something like that.

Eh.. Well, I don't know. Okay, I haven't thought about that before, so I can't say for sure, but I do know that I'm not comfortable with speaking English due to the accent etc, so I would most likely end up in a pretty tricky situation.

LOL can you speak Dutch? If you speak Dutch I will probably understand you, then I can speak Afrikaans back which you will probably understand too... well I am not very good at speaking it but I can get by with simple conversations.

Unfortunately, I can't speak Dutch. I can present myself and tell you where I live and what my name is in French though, but that's not really going to help us.

I already use it for a long time now, wondering if I need the paid version but it seems to me that the free version already doses a great job at spotting my misspellings and help me develop better English skills as far as writing goes.
I'm a little rusty with my spoken English, used to have a job where I spoke English almost every day but using correct pronunciations and very complicated words was out of the question since my Korean employers had a very rusty English and often use a mix of English, Korean, and Romanian resulting into a very awkward dialect.

Oh my gosh I can only imagine Cristian! Here in South Africa we have 11 national languages and very often we mix up languages when we speak, especially English and Afrikaans.

My husband is Afrikaans and I am English so at home he usually speaks Afrikaans and I speak English and our kids just mingle it up lol.

I think I posted a similar post on here recently as well. I have only been using Grammarly for a few months now and it's absolutely amazing. It allows me to type extremely fast without having to worry about going back and fixing my mistakes every time I notice a mistake. I can just do that at the end after I finish writing my post because of how accurate Grammarly is. It has never missed a mistake and the suggestions that it offers are always correct.

Even I have been using Grammarly together with two other spell checkers and so far these have helped me to make less grammatical mistakes. I tend to type very quickly and that's the main reason I end up making errors at times. I think that Grammarly is one among the best spell checkers.

I have to agree, I really find Grammarly as an essential tool for spelling and grammar corrections since I'm not excellent of my English spelling and grammar. Because of Grammarly things comes easily to me now, and gives me much confidence in my writing and post.

I love grammarly, the best tool for checking spelling and grammar mistakes, it is almost the same as ms word but this tool highlights every word that have mistakes until I correct them. Very convenient and useful.
