NOTE: you have to allow extension for your browser before it works and of course a working Internet connection.
Hope you find it helpful.

Yes, this is so true. It's baffles me to know that such a great app would even suggests improper corrections at times.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑04 Sep 2018, 19:14 I find my free Grammarly useful when I misspell words, miss capitalizations, and misname famous people or places.

A user should still learn the grammar rules and take the Grammarly suggestions with a grain of salt. (For instance, since Grammarly uses US English, it will flag British spellings as errors.)

MS Word is good but not perfect. None of the programs really do it all. That's why many people suggest using two proofing programs, in addition to reading the review aloud and carefully going through it line-by-line.

I used to do that and I consistently got points taken off because Word is iffy on the comma corrections. So I switched to Grammarly and my scores are much better.

I use both Word 365 and Grammarly. Even then, you really do still need to know what to look for, as there isn't a perfect tool out there.

I ignored the advice of Grammarly in a review and had points deducted. I wrote "... .is narrated in third person." Grammarly said it should be "... .is narrated in the third person."
I ran it through Scribens and Writers Work, and it was not flagged, so I left the article out. I cannot find a rule regarding article usage for this phrase.
Any suggestions?
