Grammarly’s online writing assistance and plagiarism tools encourage polished grammar, better overall wordsmithing, and a professional writing style.
UWA students and faculty have access to Grammarly Premium just for the asking. Though I find Grammarly's privacy policies a little concerning, I don't worry about using it for classwork or website copy checking. The next Great American Novel? I'm not sure about that yet.
Keep in mind you are the final arbiter of what is correct, and artificial intelligence is just that—artificial—so don't change things just because the program says so. Sometimes, the program is just. plain. wrong. My English degrees allow me to weigh in on this.
I've been using Grammarly lately for websites and some classwork, and I am regularly catching a couple of errors I missed, like double words. What I like most, I think, is seeing my score go from 92 to 98, which makes me proud.
You can embed Grammarly in Microsoft Word and/or Google Docs, as well as add it to your desktop, iPhone, iPad. They offer 5 or so browser extensions too for your convenience, such as Chrome and Firefox.
