Grammar Expert Plus helps by checking your writing for thousands of
common grammatical errors. Syntax errors, wordy phrases, vague
modifiers, capitalization, and possessive errors are among the types
of corrections made by this program. A thesaurus is included, and the
program also comes with a built-in mini word-processor. It includes a
chart that can compare your writing with representative texts
ranging from grade-school primers to PhD theses.
