Grammarly: What Is It and Why You Should Use It

In this digital age, people type hundreds of words per minute without even thinking about it. We are constantly on our phones, hitting keys on a keyboard and quickly jotting down notes to keep track of our daily to-dos. With so many words spilling out of our brains and into our fingertips, errors happen. However, there is an app for that!

Grammarly, a free grammar and writing app, has been helping creatives and business owners alike by being a second set of eyes on their writing. This AI-powered online program is designed to help people make sure their messages, documents, stories and social media posts are effortless and error free.

Now, you may be wondering what makes this different from everyday spell-check on Google, Apple and Microsoft products? It does not just check for basic grammar, but its algorithm also checks for wordiness, writing style, punctuation, spelling, and plagiarism. It even gives you details as to why the change was flagged so you can better understand it and correct it the next time. 

Grammarly does allow you to correct grammar mistakes on documents within their app and plug-in, but it also checks for mistakes while you are searching or writing on the Internet. On your browser, it will underline the words you type in red when they are misspelled, have awkward construction or punctuation errors. It is a huge benefit for business owners who write blogs, create social media content or edit websites on a daily basis.  

The app can be downloaded for several browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox as a plug-in and for your iOS or Android phone as a mobile app. It can also be connected to Microsoft Word for an extra proofreading of documents instead of relying solely on spell check. 

 To download this feature, visit https://www.grammarly.com/ or your mobile app store and keep your writing skills in check!
