Hi Sandeep, I used Grammarian, with the grammar set at "common", it picked up numerous grammar errors. Some correct but more often than not it made bad suggestions about what was wrong. for example for the first sentence it suggested "Marketing is bad for brand" When I added McDonalds to the dictionary it accepted the second sentence. It then decided that McDonald's was incorrect which of course it might be as McDonald can be a surname. But I personally liked the change it suggested to "Internets make good brand" it detected the missing article and suggested "Internets make the (alt a) good brand" It just serves to illustrate how complex the English language is. I used the Australia English dictionary that comes with Grammarian Andrew. On 22/03/2005, at 3:01 AM, Sandeep Krishnamurthy wrote:
