Style Corrector

vigilante · Sep 13, 2009

HI, good day.

I am spanish writer of scripts. I write also scripts in English. I would like to know if there is any Style Corrector. What´s that? Say something that looks over the text (already in english) and search not for spelling, but for bad grammar constructions: ie.:

In relation to /relation with...etc.

Is there on earth such a thing?

Thanking in advance...

Most word processors have a grammar check, you may just have to enable it. I don't use mine (maybe I should< i only use the spelling one) so I'm not sure how indepth it is.

anybody else?

Unfortunately, nothing works very well outside of formal business letter writing, especially with dialog.

As M the M says.

Even then, grammar checkers are much like spelling checkers -- the writer still needs basic skills when the robot overlooks an error or detects something wrong based on its program logic, when it's correct the way the writer has it.

Oh, yeah, dialog is a whole 'nother bag o' snakes.
