Don’t leave marks on the table: get Grammarly
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably sick of seeing Grammarly ads on YouTube…
… But if you haven’t tried it, you should.
There’s nothing more annoying than getting an essay, dissertation or assignment marked down because of some easily-avoidable errors.
There’s a forever-free version which acts like a beefed-up version of the standard Microsoft spelling / grammar check – it basically catches a whole load of writing mistakes that you might otherwise miss.
Or if you want, you can go pro and get on-the-fly tips on how to take your writing to the next level: it’s like having your own writing coach on standby as you work.
I VERY rarely recommend products. I make an exception for Grammarly because it’s really, really good – and completely free if you don’t need the pro features. I earn a small commission for successful recommendations, which helps cover costs here at the site.
