If you are a Mac user and writing is an important part of your daily tasks, it always helps to have some help with editing spelling or grammar errors. Whether it is to create a presentation for an important work meeting, to write a paper for school, send email reports to clients, Grammarly monitors every word you type. If you are a dedicated writer, then Grammarly is a tool you can't miss an opportunity to use.

Our language is vast and full of different words, synonyms, homonyms, antonyms and verbal expressions that can be hard to write correctly most of the time. That's when having a second pair of eyes right there while writing is awesome! Grammarly can be your second pair of eyes.

There are currently a few grammar or spell-check programs, however, not all of them have a Mac version. And the good news is that we are not talking about a regular spell-check tool, Grammarly goes above and beyond by taking on every aspect of writing such as grammar, or poor use of vocabulary. The program is smart enough to even catch contextual spellings.

Grammarly can instantly find errors that not even Pages can, and fix them immediately. Another great advantage is that you can use it on Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and nearly anywhere else you write on the web.

This is a tool you can rely on to help you improve your quality of content and deliver your best writing work. Just follow these simple instructions and get started.
