I finally gave in and bought a licence for ProWritingAid. I have used the free version of this gramnar checker a lot so it seems fair.
All I can tell you just now is that it is taking me twice as long to write anything.
Never mind, I am also learning a lot.

It is good. Prowritingaid seems better suited if you also write fiction. Sadly, the free version of the other major player, "Autocrit" is now useless and you have to pay for it to do anything more than pick up verbs.

Any change seems to slow us down. Wait until you master it. Then you'll suddenly get much faster.

I probably will. I am finding myself aware of potential pitfalls as I write now. It is easy to write four sentences in a row starting with the same word, for example. I seem to do that a lot.

@Jackalyn I took a course in Business Corespondance when I was in high school. It has always stood me in good stead when I am writing something.

It will be worth it in the end. It is not a perfect editor, but it is certainly making me think and picking up things I would otherwise miss.
