Who can give me some suggestions about writing and grammar proofreading software like whitesmoke?

	summerlove  +  632036 Tue, 06 Jan 09 04:47 AM I use Grammatica for German. It  also  has French and some other languages. I'm not  sure if it will answer your needs, but it's a genuine product, unpretentious, and gives you  a free trial. It  is fully  downloadable and works offline.    http://www.ultralingua.com/en/grammar.htm  It  only  costs $29 for the licenced versino; They also  have a genuine help  forum on  their site. The questioins on  the Whitesmoke forum are mainly  made up  by  the publishers. summerlove Languages

	cbsteh  +  632278 Tue, 06 Jan 09 09:12 AM You can try Serenity Editor, a grammar checker about USD50. Its interface is pretty basic but manages to do well than most grammar checkers. I think it is vital to remember that grammar checkers are not as intelligent as humans so they should not be condemned as useless. They are useful but up to a point. They can at least highlight certain words/sentences that forces us to think if we have written them not only correctly but accurately. But as your grammar improves, you will find increasingly less use of a grammar checker.

	English-coach  +  642575 Wed, 14 Jan 09 05:51 PM I tried whitesmoke because I wanted to review it for the course section of my website and I have to say I was dissappointed.  It made very strange suggestions that didn't fit at ALL with what I was writing.  Stick with Mircrosoft word and the grammar/spell checker.  That is just as good and cheeper. As for finding somethinf to proofread your work for a low cost it is hard to find.  A program can't do it as well as a real person. Some of you might be interested in my writing course that is on my website.  Each week I post a new assignment which you can submit a small essay for and I correct and post it on the site ASAP.  This is all for FREE of course.  I'm in the buisness of helping people learn English.  For for info visit the course page at (URL removed by mod).
