Write better articles with this tool

I recently started using Grammarly. It has significantly improved my punctuation and grammar and even improved my writing style.

Writing is challenging for me. I do not think in pleasant linear, connected thoughts. Instead, I tend to jump around from one idea to the next. My ideas are tangled together so that when I talk, it can be challenging to follow.

The first draft of what I write is usually a jumbled mess. My writing is equal “opportunity” in that I leave out nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and sometimes two to four words of a sentence.

As my career advanced, being able to write coherently became more critical.

During my junior year of High School, I arrogantly applied to three universities. I was lucky; two admitted me. They (I think) ignored my lousy essay writing. One did not and “conditionally” accepted me for the next year if I took a year of English and writing at the local junior college.

At the time, I was insulted, but looking back, that acceptance committee was right.

Conclusion

Use Grammarly, especially if you are in college. Your course lecturers will appreciate it. You will appreciate it as your papers will come back with fewer red markings and higher scores.

If you are a writer, your editors will appreciate it, and your readers will benefit from you becoming a better writer.

I am fond of it because it uses Machine Learning, but mostly a significant improvement in a guy who scored 440 on his English Aptitude test.
