What spell check or grammar checker do you use for your writing?  

Are you talking about the microsoft word you use to type the article with? I have found it to be extremely unreliable. Maybe it is just my run-on sentences. LOL

I know, it misses grammar errors a lot.

Exactly. That is totally my problem. I just do not see things very well until I have looked away from them.

With the MS Word, like you said, I find it isn't always reliable either. I found a free one called SpellCheck Plus, but you can only have so many words in the text area. That's okay, what I do is cut my articles in half to spell check. It also catches grammar errors. I like it. I just don't think it is doing a good enough job anymore. LOL

Giving the piece time to rest seems to be my best editor technique. LOL I have to read it after I forget what I wanted to write. LOL

Exactlty, when you know what you what you want to say, it makes it so easy to glide by errors and mistakes. The problem only comes when you're working on a deadline. You might need to let the piece rest, but it needs to be elsewhere.

I haven't been too good at using the grammar checker in word. It misses things. LOL I guess I need to find what my typical errors are and make a conscience effort to track them. Mostly, it is commas. LOL

Semi-colons and I have a very rocky relationship. Just when I think I've got them figured out, they break my heart again. It's not pretty.

You can customize Word's grammar check. I don't remember the steps, but there is a way to have it look for specific things. Makes it a little smarter, but I still wouldn't plug in the Gettysburg Address (it always hates that).

LOL. That was my plan. If it can check the Gettysburg Address, we are in business!

I heard about that years ago in school and I completely forgot about it. Thanks for refreshing my memory. I seem to remember that worked for me, once upon a time. LOL

LOL. You can write about it and all of us will read it, hoping to improve our checking techniques. LOL I think that would make a good article.

I'll have to dig out my notes once I can get the urge to write going again. I am just not in the mood these days.

Hope to hear from you again. I guess school and art is keeping you pretty busy these days.

You got it! On my way out the door to school now. Wasn't in much in the evenings last week and didn't get to myLot on the weekend. Tell you all about it later.

Your last articles are really good. I think they were probably some of your plr articles, but your English (language) is much better, almost perfect.

This essayrater constantly updates the service. Sometimes the first review does not catch all the mistakes. So I review twice, after making the changes suggested in the first review.
The English is not perfect, because I have many sentences in passive and I dont bother to change the sentence structure.
I guess the $39.95 for three months usage is worthwhile, especially when checking the originality of the rewritten work.

I would have to say I don't know. I write all my articles from scratch so I know they are original. LOL Can't say they are the greatest, just that they are original. LOL

As far as spell checking, why do they have to update to the point you have to run your articles twice. I guess $40 for three months isn't a lot, but still...
