Spell checking and proof-reading are important skills to have when writing text, but they often become computerized actions thanks to word processors that tend to do a bulk of the editing work for the consumer. However, word processors tend to only do a surface level editing, leaving many errors behind making the Google Chrome extension Grammarly an ideal tool to have. The extension is able to correct grammar mistakes ten times more thoroughly than the average processor, leading to less mistakes on copy found on websites and the Internet.
Grammarly is a program that can easily be installed via Google Chrome to help reduce spelling errors, grammar issues and help improve the overall tone and quality of writing with dictionaries and synonym features.
According to Grammarly's product description, the extension is able to "instantly fix over 250 types of errors, most of which Microsoft Word can't find."
