Had to delete my last comment and start again, haha.<br /><br />I've never used Grammarly so I don't know what it's like. I did disable the spelling and grammar check on my word documents because it was maddening how it wouldn't shut up. To check that stuff in essays and college papers makes sense because the writing is more formal but most of the time creative writing is different. Creative writing breaks a lot of rules on purpose and it's difficult to focus on that if there's something constantly pointing out the non-existent problems.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-9289939058214226762013-06-21T16:07:15.136-07:002013-06-21T16:07:15.136-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-86401701865043418322013-06-21T15:05:55.350-07:002013-06-21T15:05:55.350-07:00I'm good with typos and will take all the help...I'm good with typos and will take all the help I can get.L.
