Hello and a very warm welcome back. Today we are going to do a review on the Grammarly Software Tool. I just love this tool it’s so simple to use and easy to install.
I am a native English speaker born in the UK.
Why do I use Grammarly?
English is one of the hardest languages to learn because there are so many words that are the same but have different spellings, meanings and contexts.
Like Where and Wear, sound the same but totally different meanings.
Where is Neil today?
Wear a coat, jumper, or shirt?
other examples: Centre or Center, Realise and Realize. Too and To.

What is Grammarly?
Grammarly is an online writing tool that helps in many useful ways.
Helps with spelling, punctuation, and Grammar.
When writing if you make a mistake or miss something out in a sentence Grammarly will either correct the misspelt word for you with an autocorrect or it will underline in red where there is something missing.
Missing punctuation or words are suggested for you just hover over the underlined word and Grammarly will tell you what the problem is as well as how to correct it.
Grammarly also has a plageurism detector. This enables anybody to copy and paste any text into Grammarly and have it analyzed for uniqueness against millions of other posts.
Perfect for students and bloggers respectively.
Who Is Grammarly For?
I recommend Grammarly for everyone who writes on a regular basis and especially for all bloggers to improve their writing techniques.
I am a native English speaker and writer, even I get things wrong occasionally 🙂
My biggest problem when writing is sentence structure Grammarly has improved my writing by 50% since I started to use it in January 2021.
Grammarly is Installed on my Google Chrome browser, it also works on a Mac, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
New bloggers are often on a tight budget so the free version is really helpful and I spent 3 months using it before upgrading to the paid option.
The blog posts seem to rank better in the search engines as well.

My Final Thoughts
Since using Grammarly My blog posts have improved a great deal, better sentence structure, less repetitive words, fewer unnecessary words, and less chance of spelling and grammar mistakes.
There is nothing worse than reading a blog post that has glaringly obvious spelling mistakes.
Over a period of time, Grammarly naturally helps your writing to improve in every way possible.
The flesh reading level is a great little bonus that has been added. This explains who your article/post is suitable for.
Although the tool is not 100% accurate I would still highly recommend using it to improve upon your writing skills.

Thank you so much for the excellent review of Grammarly. I have been using the free version for some time, which I love. One of my favorite features of Grammarly is the Tone Detector. Someday soon I will have to spend a few extra dollars for the paid version. It looks like it would be really worthwhile. Look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
Thanks for the great comment, Chris. Grammarly is a brilliant tool and well worth the money.
