The more time we spend online, the more our communication happens online—and that’s a lot of time spent typing. The words you speak on the fly may not get much polishing before you say them, but the words you type can change as much as you’d like before you hit send or publish. You can be more deliberate with what you write. The downside? Once your written words are out there, you can’t take them back. They can be reread, screen-capped, saved, and even shared. The plus side? You can perfect your words before anyone else ever sees them.
Getting it just right takes time, but Grammarly can help save you time on editing, revising, and polishing your written words. Whether you’re writing for school, work, or your personal life—a text, email, essay, blog, website, presentation, or LinkedIn post—Grammarly can help you finish your message faster for any circumstance.
Grammarly’s communication and writing assistance cuts down on the time you spend proofing and polishing your writing. Instead of poring over your writing to find mistakes, you’ll get real-time writing suggestions that help you edit and revise while you type. Here are five ways Grammarly can save time on your writing:
1 Quickly address the basics
When people think of grammar edits, the first thing that likely comes to mind is spelling and punctuation—the basics. It could be a misplaced comma, a misspelled word, an incorrect usage of “their” and “they’re,” writing “pass” instead of “past,” or a typo like “hosue.” At the minimum, the basics are important for every person to conquer in their writing. Not only is cleaner writing more presentable, but it’s simply more readable. Incorrect punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence, and incorrect or missing words can make the reader question what they’re reading at all.
Grammarly spots the little spelling and punctuation mistakes and underlines them in red so you don’t have to comb through your writing to find them yourself. Rather than spending your time looking up whether you made a mistake and what the correction should be, Grammarly underlines the mistakes and provides the suggestion in real time as you type. Fixing your mistakes is as quick as a mouse click.
2 Rewrite for clarity and conciseness
Do your sentences sometimes sound awkward to you? Long-winded and confusing? Too many prepositional statements? Maybe you’ve rewritten a few times and can’t seem to hit the nail on the head. Maybe it’s a sentence that sounds great to you but might not be clear to others. And sometimes, there’s just a better way to say it.
Why spend time rewriting your sentences when you can just hit accept on a Grammarly suggestion? Grammarly Pro’s suggestions help you rewrite your sentence for clarity and conciseness on the spot, so you never have to ruminate over the same phrase trying to find the right way to say it. Replace complicated sentences with more efficient ones and revise your words to concisely make your point.
3 Easily adjust your tone
If your words have ever caused a miscommunication or not landed right, then you could probably use a little help with tone. Tone is an important element of language, and it can be difficult to emit tone through your writing without emojis and exclamation points.
Grammarly’s tone detector tells you the perceived tone of your language and whether you’re coming across as formal or casual—among many other tones. Pro tone adjustments provide suggestions on how to change the tone of your text so you communicate the way you intend. You’ll save time not having to second-guess yourself and going back and forth to achieve the correct tone.
4 Choose your words thoughtfully and efficiently
Without realizing it, writers often repeat words, include unnecessary words, or choose words that are overused. Even if it’s not incorrect writing, different word choices can make all the difference in your presentation, professionalism, and uniqueness.
Want to know when to eliminate common phrases like “great job!” or unnecessary words like “really”? Grammarly Pro’s helpful word choice suggestions will keep your vocabulary in check when you write so you don’t sound repetitive. It can also level up your writing by suggesting word replacements to keep your reader engaged. With Grammarly’s help right there at your fingertips, you’ll never have to pull out a thesaurus or look up other ways to say it.
5 Edit and revise—wherever you write
Hopping from one page, window, or app to another can be cumbersome and time-consuming. And when all of your work happens in different places, there might be a lack of consistency in how you write across the many programs you use.
Grammarly works where you write, so you never have to switch on an editing tool or cut and paste your text to get writing suggestions. You’ll get real-time edits and feedback right where you write. It doesn’t get more convenient than Grammarly.
