Hi All;
A Big thanks to Anne Miller for sharing this link.    https://app.grammarly.com/

During middle school the powers that be decided that they had a better way to teach us, English class...
They called it "New English"  Instead of teaching us the old rules of grammar,  you know, goes something like A before Z except after P.
With New English, we were taught to spell phonetically. After about 3 years they realized none of us could spell...
They went back to teaching Old English again. Just too bad about those new English kids they'll pick it up later.
Those of us who caught that better idea have been loving "spell check programs" ever since!
The proper use of punctuation has always mystified me.  
I suspect my mind was not on the class at the time but on much better things like hot rods or that new girl over there.

Enter Grammarly!   Not only is it a simple spell check it fixes my punctuation and makes sure  I don't create long confusing posts!!!
I've only been using it for a few hours and I'm in Love!

If you are a dumb-ass victim of New English or just spent too much time daydreaming then this is the program for you!

Thank You Anne for sharing!

Grammarly is awesome! It makes me sound like the native American English speaker that I am. I have developed some dyslexia in spelling AND typing. During proofreading, I'd see a puzzle of scrambled words. Was that e supposed to be I? The d should be a k? What on earth should that word be?! Grammarly usually has the correct option.

Thanks grammarly!

Thomas, thank you.

I can't really take credit as I learned about Grammarly from this thread:

But surely you can take credit of being there when a fellow needed you!
