The best Grammar checker

by Jeremy Gavins

I obviously am in great need of help with my grammar, so is there a good grammar checker out there, and which is the recommended one?

An automatic grammar checker will not solve all your problems. Sometimes human intuition is necessary. Sometimes the sentence must be placed into context. Take the following example:

Yesterday this e-mail appeared in my in-box.

Sender: a certain 'Prevent Erection Problem';

Subject line: 'The 3 deadliest MYTHS about erectile ...'.

Now, I never open these things (I generally offer them, unused and in original packing, to a charitable institution), so I can't read the continuation of that subject line.

And the sender's name (either an alias or a new name via deed poll, because I can't imagine parents naming a baby - of either sex - that) is not a great deal of help. Does (s)he mean:

a) a problem with preventing an erection? Or

b) preventing a problem with an erection? Or

c) preventing a problem with not being able to ACHIEVE an erection?

A conundrum! If you would care to solve it, send me your e-mail address and it will be yours - in mint condition.
