English is not my language, i use Grammarly to correct mistakes like Grammer,commas,fullstops or spelling errors.
Sometimes Grammarly will mark a word red to show it`s wrong but l cant figure out what`s wrong with the said word.Like in this post, l already have 7 faults shown but l can`t figure what`s wrong.
Do you use Grammarly to improve your writing?

Yes I use it when I do my articles for my freelance job. You have to scroll down at the right to see what the mistakes are. The only downside, you need to pay for the premium versions that let's you see the other grammar mistakes. That's going to take a while for me.

Makes writing easier as you see the mistakes before you publish so you can choose to change or just ignore them

Yes, I have been using Grammarly for the last few months. Since the computer problems I haven't put the button back on my browser but I use it when I write an article before submitting it. It would send me a weekly summary for a while too. That was interesting.

No not any more, I have tried it but I found that my spellchecker in word works just as well if not better.

@miniam I thought it's not for free. Maybe I have to use it too. Thanks

@miniam I find I make more now that I'm getting older - and my spelling isn't as good as it used to be either. And I keep writing can instead of can't and do instead of don't which isn't a good thing either. It totally changes the meaning.

No, I don't.
I found those 7 errors.
1) after language it should be PERIOD instead of comma
2) i must be CAPITALIZED always
3) SPELLING of GrammAr
4) need SPACE after grammar,
5) need SPACE after commas,
6) cant should be CAN'T
7) need SPACE after word.

I am English and my spelling and grammar is pretty good, so I don't use a checker. My typos tend to be caused by myLot. Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
As for your 7 mistakes, I think they mainly not leaving a space after your commas, or adding one before the apostrophes.

not heard of Grammarly before. i use a basic spellcheck/grammar check on longer posts I write but if it works for you that's great

is totally free to join and use, they offer upgrade just like anything online but you don't need to, the free upgrade works really well
