Normally, when we write an article, essay, narrative paragraphs, etc… we are so inspired that do not pay attention in the grammar mistakes, although word lets us know certain mistakes, it is an incomplete tool that has a lot of ambiguous suggestions. Most of the tools that we found at Internet are not useful due to the fact that are not developed correctly so we have a lot of ideas and our written text is almost perfect but as students, our grade is low for the grammatical errors. Now, thanks to 5 tools we can check our grammar and be sure that our text is accurate. The tools are: Grammarly, Paper Rater, After the deadline, Online correction, Hemingway Editor. All of these tools are available to improve our grammar competence.

How the Cold, Dead Hand of John Dryden Still Perpetuates Grammar Myths – Lingua Franca - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education

How the Cold, Dead Hand of John Dryden Still Perpetuates Grammar Myths – Lingua Franca - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it
Dryden famously invented the myth that sentence-ending prepositions are an error.... Nearly three and a half centuries later there are still American writers and academics who think stranding a preposition is something to feel guilty about. Other admonishments: Avoid starting sentences with "that." Use "who" for people and "that" for things. "[A]void the words, don’t, can’t, shan’t, and the like abbreviations of syllables; which seem to ... savour of a little rusticity."

In a world of spellcheck and texting abbreviations, few people want to take the time to learn about subjects, objects, and dangling modifiers. Besides, computers can fix our sentences for us. However, as anyone who's suffered an autocorrect embarrassment knows, computers don't always get it right. Language is a human tool and requires the insight of…
