Interactive checking is the most effective, creative, and enjoyable

errors and enhance your writing style.  Since the program naturally
assume you have spelled each words correctly, we suggest you use our
improved spelling dictionary.  Grammatik can then analyze the
sentence, assigning parts of speech and looking for grammar, usage,
and mechanical errors.  Collecting helpful statistics along the way
on elements such as passive voice and sentence length.

Unless you write newspaper or advertising copy, it is best to
avoid one-sentence paragraphs, and you are reminded of them by a
patient Grammatik until you do this automatically, in addition
finding sentences so long they are hard to follow.

Correcting long sentences is often just a matter of separating
two subjects, or editing out unnecessary modifiers.  Some writing
problems are more difficult to correct, though.  How often have you
asked yourself if you should use "he" or "him," or "we" or "us?"  We
may think only other people make these mistakes, but both you and me
can overlook simple errors.  It's that we think as we write.  If the
thought changes in mid-sentence, the two parts don't always match up.
Sometimes, while struggling to carefully and completely explain an
idea, you think of the right words, but put them where they don't
belong.
