Any opinions on grammar checkers?
I bought Correct Grammar from MacConnection at MacWorld before I noticed
that Grammatik Mac Release 2 was out. It looked pretty good so I bought
it, too. Both products have 30 day money back offers, so I figured I
would use both for a while and keep that one that "felt best". Thus
far, Grammatik Mac seems preferable because it makes more useful
suggestions and fewer incorrect suggestions than Correct Grammar. I've
noticed a lot of suggestions from CG that are flat out wrong.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used either of these programs
(or some other worthy candidate). I'll post a summary if volume
warrants one.
Thanks,
Barry

Does anyone know the major differences between Grammatik V1.0 and V2.0 for the Mac? I read that V1.0 had problems with suggesting incorrent grammar changes to documents.

I've found that Grammatik Mac 2.0 makes few incorrect suggestions when I
use it with a variety of document styles. Correct Grammar, on the other
hand, makes quite a few suggestions that are WRONG! Except for a case
where GM let through a split infinitive that CG caught, GM seems to
catch the same errors and makes more useful suggestions. I can't
compare 2.0 against 1.0. I bought both products because they came with
30 day trial periods; I'm going to keep GM and return CG.
