    QuillBot performed exceptionally well compared to the other tools we tested for this comparison. It was able to find and correct all of the 20 errors. The Scribbr Grammar Checker, powered by QuillBot, performed just as well. We also found the interface on both sites very user-friendly. The “Fix All Errors” option saves a lot of time and clicking wh...

    LanguageTool performed excellent, detecting 19 out of 20errors in the text. It was able to recognize all spelling mistakes, word choice errors, and punctuation mistakes. We did find the site relatively user-friendly, since it doesn’t require a sign-up and has a decent, clean user interface. However, it does take two clicks to correct and error and ...

    Though it performed a lot worse than QuillBot and LanguageTool, GrammarCheck did better than the average free grammar checker. It corrected 11 out of 20errors in the text and did not introduce any errors in the process. In terms of usability, we found GrammarCheck straightforward to use, since there’s no sign-up required and you can just copy-paste...

    Grammarly performs well compared to the average grammar checker. But because it’s not entirely free, many of the issues it notices can only be checked if you pay for a premium membership. The free version of Grammarly could only fix 11 out of 20errors in our text. Based on the other parts of the text it had highlighted, it looks like premium versio...

    Wordtune performed better than any other grammar checker except QuillBot and LanguageTool in terms of the errors it found and corrected, with a score of 13 out of 20. However, this is with the important caveat that it’s more of a paraphrasing tool than a standard grammar checker. As far as we could tell, there was no way to separate its paraphrasin...

    Writer corrected 7 errors in the text, but it also introduced 4 new errors in the process of correcting them, resulting in a score of 3 out of 20. The errors it introduced were all punctuation errors. Writer seems to attempt to simplify your sentence structure in a clumsy way, by simply removing commasand parentheses that are grammatically necessar...

    Like Writer, ProWritingAid was able to find only a few errors and introduced some errors of its own. In this case, it fixed 5 errors and introduced 2, resulting in a score of 3 out of 20. The errors introduced by ProWritingAid resulted from identifying issues but fixing them in ways that didn’t work. For example, it identified that the acronym“C.O....

    Linguix had the worst performance out of any of the tools we tested, fixing only 3 errors and introducing 1 new error, resulting in a score of 2 out of 20. It highlighted 7 other errors, but as with some other tools, it would only explain and correct them in the premium version. It was unable to recognize the word “apraxia.” In this case, we’ve ded...

    Scribens (not to be confused with Scribbr!) scored the same as ProWritingAid, with 5 errors fixed and 2 new ones introduced, resulting in a score of 3 out of 20. In one case, it suggested changing “multiple sclerosis” to “many sclerosis,” quite a bad mistake. Scribens also offers a variety of extra features that can be turned on at the side. We fou...

    Ginger scored the same as several other tools we tested, finding only 3 out of 20 errors but not adding any errors of its own. We’ve ranked it lowest out of all the tools we tested because of some unreasonable limitations regarding text length. Ginger claims that its grammar checker will only “partially” correct sentences of more than 350 character...

  4. English makes few changes to its word endings (' suffixes '). In the Italic or 'Romance' languages (such as French, Italian, and Spanish), word endings carry a lot of meaning. In English we have just a few: plurals and possessives (John's) are the most common.

  5. English is the only official language or one of the official languages of nearly 60 countries. It is also the main language of more countries in the world than any other.
