The following is done with WordPerfect 11 (not quite the latest version) and doesn't quite pass. It flags one sentence, "Internet make good brand." as incomplete, but doesn't have any suggestions for correction. Better than Word, but only marginally so. Markets are bad for brand. McDonald is good brand. McDonald's is good brand. McDonald’s are good brand. McDonald is good brand. Finance well for marketing. 4P's are marketing mix. I use marketing mixes for good marketing. Internet does good jobs. Internet help marketing. Internet make good brand. Gates do good marketing in Microsoft. Gates build the big brand in Microsoft. The Gates is the leader of big company in Washington. Warren buffet does awesome jobs in marketing. Buffets eat buffets. -- Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst.
