Microsoft Word

While spellcheckers and grammar checkers can be great tools to assist in proofreading, they still can miss many errors and are often unable to understand context.  
Despite using the built-in spelling and grammar checker, this text is far from 100% perfect.     Errors include:
  • Comma splice / run-on sentence
  • Incorrect word usage / spelling error
  • Spelling inconsistency
  • Missing punctuation

    • Proofreading Only
