grammar, spelling, and plagiarism avoidance. It can be used on many platforms like
Windows, Apple, Android, and the web and may be used in specific applications. It can run
inside multiple word formats and help give suggestions anywhere text is typed. I have the
Premium version through UAGC. I use it to help me write better than I could generally on
almost any platform. I started my account on May 09, 2021, and I receive emails from
Grammarly that show my progress in Figure 1. Since I have one account, I use it on my
phone and Laptop computer. I can set the application to basic or premium checks, and I can
have it checked while I am writing or after finished with my rough draft.
Figure 1 Results since May 2021 of Grammarly usage.
Grammarly has a Web page that allows importing text to check for suggested changes.
Figure 2 shows the account screen and the demo document with proposed changes. I also
have Grammarly installed on the desktop for Microsoft Office Offline, and it looks similar
to the online checks. After writing an essay or discussion, I open up Grammarly, and
depending on the number of pages, I will have suggestions in the three digits. It takes a
little time to review each recommendation, and I have noticed I receive a better grade for
using proper language skills. I have reduced the number of corrections on each report
because I remember which recommended errors and learn from my mistakes. Grammarly
lets me choose options of having a sidebar displaying all suggested edits or a floating icon
that follows where I’m at on the page and, when clicked, displays the errors at the location.
Grammarly can make some suggestions that do not sound correct, and I tell Grammarly that
I prefer my version better. Grammarly is artificial intelligence (AI) software that learns how
I write and gives me suggestions based on my preference and what is correct language
dynamics.

showed a before and after snapshot of how Grammarly helps.

random times, and I have to sign back in to utilize it again. I know it has happened when I
open up a web page or word document and the Grammarly icon or tab is missing. I wrote to
the developers to see if they could fix the problem, but I will not know if they fixed it until
about a month later. I would love it if Grammarly could write my essay or discussion for
me. They must have known what I thought because they recently added a function called
Snippet. It turns commonly used phrases, sentences, and entire paragraphs into reusable
snippets to save time. There is an option in Figure 4 to create these Snippets and share
collections among groups of people for collaboration efforts. This is a function I am going
to learn how to use.

Another function I would like is to have Grammarly automatically make suggestions
before writing a sentence based on my writing style. I would like it to teach me how to
write better and have a higher vocabulary level. I think reviewing applications helps
understand the options available. Grammarly helped create this discussion.
