I just received a mailing from Softwood (makers of Pen Pal and the Electric Thesaurus) that a grammar checker is being offered. The list price for Proper Grammar is $99.95. I'm looking at a 1-page mailing ad: o utilizes the Houghton Mifflin CorrecText Grammar Correction system - expert system that uses context-sensitive rules of grammar to analyze writing - identifys grammatical function and relationships among words o interactive grammar correction o checks for grammatical errors, spelling, punctuation and style o lets you make changes as errors are detected o can be used with - Word Perfect (TM), ProWrite (TM), Pen Pal (TM), TextCraft Plus (TM), Kind Words (TM), TransWrite (TM), Scribble! (TM), and ASCII files o supports ARexx and clipboard o statistics include: - word, sentence and paragraph count - Flesh Reading Ease Score, Flesh Reading Ease Grade Level, Flesh-Kincaid Score, Gunning's Fog Index For more information, contact: Softwood Inc, P.O. Box 50178, Phoenix, AZ 85076 Orders: 1-800-247-8330 I don't work for Softwood, just a happy customer because they have been very responsive in the past. And now...they even read my mind! :-)
