Thank God for Grammarly!


Ever since I started writing online last summer, I've been aware of my need to improve my punctuation and grammar. A few months ago, I discovered Grammarly - a wonderful tool that helps you correct your writing and teaches you, via a choice of short or long explanation, what you did wrong.

Grammarly is a brilliant piece of software; it checks your writing for grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. It also suggests ways to improve writing style and provides synonyms to help expand your vocabulary. I've used similar tools in the past, but this is by far the most comprehensive. It's perfect for amateur writers and bloggers.

I've learned a huge amount just through editing articles prior to publishing them at i-zeen, and I'm making fewer and fewer mistakes in my own work as time goes on. I know my sixteen year-old son, who is sitting exams next year, will benefit from using it as much as I have. Therefore, I'm happy to recommend Grammarly to anyone who needs to improve their written English. It's absolutely worth the reasonable fees charged; and, because you learn as you correct your work, there will soon come a time when you no longer need it. 

You can choose from several payment schemes - annual, quarterly, or monthly; paying annually saves you a good deal on the monthly fee, so it's worth investing in if you can afford to splash out. I chose quarterly simply because I wasn't sure how useful it would be, but I'd have been in serious trouble without it!

It's helping me create a professional website, which is crucial to our success. So, if you need help with grammar and punctuation, sign up for Grammarly!
