When we were a child, we were taught to “think before you speak”. Later, when we started interacting on various social network and blogging zones, we felt we needed to slightly twist this former lesson we learnt; we need to remember “Google before you Tweet” – ain’t it? Gradually, we have developed this practice of using various online spellcheckers, thesaurus or grammar checking tools or we simply copy and paste a phrase, word or sentence into Google Search to verify the accuracy. Well, we no longer need to toggle through multiple online grammar checking tools; here is a one-tool-for-all your proofreading needs: Grammarly Lite browser extension. And this browser extension is available from any major browser you may use such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. However, the Grammarly Lite is not available from Internet Explorer or Opera browser.
How Grammarly Lite works?
Grammarly Lite is free browser extension which caters to various contextual proofreading needs including spelling check, synonyms, grammar check and many more. Once you have installed this Grammarly Lite browser extension, this browser extension will let you proofread your text right from the website you are typing on. This grammar tool works with a vast range of websites we post content, messages or comments. These include common
- E-mail accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail
- Social media channels such as Twitter (no more Google before you Tweet, sigh!), Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest
- Blogging platforms including Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress
Will it also detect mistakes?
Yes, it will. Grammarly Lite will not only provide you with fix contextual spelling and grammar mistakes, it will also spot as you type. Does it imply that we are free from typo errors? Well, yes depending upon the blogging platform, social media channels or email clients and web browser we are using. Grammarly Lite will spot errors and usage of words (such as two and too, there, they’re and their and the like) which may get us into dilemma. The tool will also work in detecting basic grammar errors we often overlook including punctuation, capitalization or article use.
