Web Extension Review: Grammerly

What is Grammarly?
Grammarly is the world’s leading automated proofreader. It checks for more than
250 types of spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.  It enhances vocabulary
usage and suggests citations.
How do I use Grammarly?
1) Copy and paste any text into Grammarly’s free online editor. Simply go to grammarly.com.
2) Install a free browser extension for chrome and safari
(** This is amazing because then Grammarly automatically kicks in for your documents, emails, and other things.)
3) Upgrade to a premium account for advanced checking.  Prices start at $29.99 a month or $139.99 a year.  It’s quite pricey.
