Grammarian 2.0

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding Addition to Macintosh
Review: I've owned Grammarian for several years -- and when I could make myself use it, I was usually amazed at what it did for my writing. At Macworld Expo in New York, I was shocked and amazed at a demo of Grammarian which was given at the Apple User Group Breakfast. WOW! The demo showed me features in this new upgrade I had no idea were there! I bought Grammarian 2 on the spot ... PARENTS: if you have middle-school to high school students, this software MUST BE INSTALLED on your home computer! Make them use it! Their writing will improve by leaps -- the program contains not just alerts of bad grammar, and other problems in writing, but also allows you to look the problem up, and UNDERSTAND WHY it should be re-written or corrected. ... WRITERS: this is as much a learning tool as it is a writing-correction tool. Looking up problem areas in your writing will give you the correct verbiage -- in addition to inspiration to other ways of wording your message. ... it's wonderful software, and for the price -- should be on EVERY COMPUTER! ... I cannot recommend it highly enough -- and intend to nominate it for the Design & Publishing Center's "Home & School Software Product of the Year".

Review: This software is highly intuitive, easily modifiable to fit any writing situation and produces very fast statistics on readability. I am using Grammarian 2 even as I type this review and it has made several suggestions thus far to improve readability. What is really incredible about Grammarian 2 is how it works with virtually any application. One of my laments about AppleWorks is how it lacks a grammar checker. Now, it doesn't have to be that way. I'm using one of the latest iMac DV computers running Mac OS System 9.0.4. This is great software.
