Title: A great tool to help correct some mistakes.
Post by: Youghoor on April 18, 2020, 02:28:13 PM
Frankly speaking, reading some texts and chats in this forum can be a pain in the butt. The mistakes, the incoherence of speech in the writings of some users on this forum is below the belt. I know most of us are not Native English speakers but if we have to communicate of which this forum was built then it has to be right without anybody struggling to understand each other. For the sanity of this forum I entreat all Non-Native English speakers who don't have command over the English language to install Grammarly Plugin from Chrome store. It's a great too I believe will help cut the level of mistakes in our texts. This is the link and if you don't feel safe with this link just visit Chrome store and get if for yourself.

ahah. This is a great observation. very often I read the posts of users on this forum and can not understand what they are talking about. I don’t even understand why people are trying to write in English if there are local threads in which they can speak their language

Grammarly is mostly to correct English wordings as you have stated but it does not really apply to traders.

On another sense, you do not need to add a browser extension for grammarly, simply use the website and avoid all risks all at once.

Crypto currency is about safety, you should not attempt anything that compromises you

I usually struggle explaining my opinions which makes it long and mostly the sentence is grammatically wrong. I've tried using it without logging in any account to find where I went wrong and change it, so people will understand my perspectives. It's a great help for people who wants to improve their writing to make it comprehensible, it's also free and easy to use. However, extensions are capable of stealing your data.

That is true and sorry about that, that such is not useful for you.
It was a good suggestion by the OP. However, if you only use a mobile phone, phones also have their ways of suggestion what is correct from what is not.
Most browsers, particularly the updated ones will give suggestions and can sometimes help in correcting some statements and words.

Sometimes, the errors committed might not be due to the user not understanding the English language has they ought, but for typographical errors that sometimes crop in. Proofreading after typing can help to correct that.

You are absolutely right. Extensions are not safe enough to use! If someone uses the Chrome extension, then he should not use that PC to save any kind of crypto wallet! A few days ago, I noticed my smartphone keyboard can copy my Facebook password, I was very shocked! Then I changed that keyboard application immediately! Grammarly extension is a very popular tool for English writings, and very helpful to right signature posts or articles! But yet we have to be careful!

they do that because some campaigns don't allow to write on local board, they just try to follow rules of the campaign they are following now. If all the campaign allows writing on the local board, of course, they will not write in the English section

Thank you for your effort. Well most times people do understand what they are trying to pass across that's why people don't mind. But this should help anyone that wants to learn further.

Those claims are true. Reports like this

Grammarly is a very helpful tool.
It can correct a lot of grammar of syntax mistakes when writing texts - I used to have it installed on my previous laptop and it really helped me. But, there are a lot of different sayings in different languages and this might create confusion when writing which cannot be understood by people from other countries.
