Why Grammarly is Essential for Effective Business Communication
Context, spelling, grammar, AI, and plagiarism checks are all part of essential online editing tools for your writing.
Your communication quality reflects directly on your credibility. Using an online editing tool should not be considered optional-it is necessary. As the market leader, Grammarly provides a complete tool for under $150 per year.
How I Use Grammarly
I started JD Solomon Inc. five years ago and quickly realized that the editing and review resources I had in the Fortune 500 were no longer available in my lean, niche firm. Back then, I took a chance. Grammarly works well, and I use it for everything we do as a company.
As a tool, Grammarly allows me to set my context (goals) at the beginning of the process. These include multiple options for domain, audience, intent, and formality. I have tweaked the suggested editing rules (correctness, clarity, engagement, and delivery) to fit my writing style. I check every document on the backend for plagiarism and if it sounds AI-generated.
Grammarly Saves Time
It quickly identifies and corrects common errors. Automated proofreading allows you to focus on your message rather than the writing mechanics.
Grammarly Enhances Clarity
Grammarly goes beyond fixing mistakes by offering suggestions that improve sentence structure and eliminate ambiguity. Your ideas become sharper and more accessible.
Grammarly Encourages Growth
Grammarly explains its corrections, helping you understand and avoid common pitfalls. This creates stronger writing skills.
Grammarly is Not Perfect
Grammarly can sometimes be overly prescriptive, offering suggestions that may not align with your intended writing style. You can tweak the built-in rules.
Choose the Best
Grammarly is undeniably the market leader in online editing tools. ProWritingAid, Ginger Software, and WhiteSmoke are in the same price range. All are available for under $150 per year.

Online editing tools such as Grammarly are invaluable for clear and effective communication.
