    Hey guys,

    Can anyone suggest an online grammar repair tool? My brother writes articles sometimes but they are full of grammatical mistakes and I'd like to put the article somewhere and click a button so that the grammar is corrected as much as possible and the result is displayed.

    If anyone could suggest such a tool, it'd be great, oh and don't suggest Microsoft Word, I dont have a license for it.

    I would run them through Open Office "Write" or obviously Microsoft Word. Open Office would be my first choice.

    Is open office an online grammar tool as well? I've used it before and it looks like a rip off of Microsoft Word. But i think it's free. Actually this is good if you don't wanna purchase an expensive software!

    I usually use micrisoft word for that. It underlines the spelling and grammar errors.

    i don't think you'll find anything that will do that.
    English grammar is tricky and finding a program that knows all will be next to impossible IMHO.
    proof reading may be your best bet at this time.

    Would be nice if there was a script for that! Then we could all stop thinking! Luckily, for me, we are still years and years away from anything that could be comprehensive.

    I have a Master's degree in English, with some concentration in rhetoric and professional writing. I'd be happy to look at your stuff. For a price :)
