If you are an avid writer, then it is safe to assume you have heard of Grammarly. You have probably used it too and added it as an extension to your web browser to check your spelling and grammar.

It also makes to help me phrase a statement correct and generally I can avoid embarrassment among my readers using Grammarly.

It will notify you of the similarity index of your work and point out grammar mistakes on a final report, which is available via the paid version of Grammarly.

It sets the tone for more authentic finished works, which will be more presentable to authoritative figures especially if you are doing academic writing.

In the case for bloggers, I would say this is a required step. It shows commitment to your followers to deliver quality content. Whether it is for fun or a lifestyle brand or full-time career as a blogger. It is also good for aspiring writers to use this platform to improve the most basic parts of their learning. Grammarly does offer some features such as a thesaurus, a grammar checking program and plagiarism checker as previously mentioned.

As any academic would know, plagiarism is a big offense that is taken seriously. The offense is punishable by the law. Therefore, all students and writers alike need to be careful when publishing material to do so lawfully. Following the right formats and regulations have given by their respective institutions. Doing an essay, thesis or term paper right means doing the proofreading and plagiarism check to ensure our work is legitimate. Plagiarized work also ruins the reputation of the one who has plagiarized their work. If it is an academic, their reputation and authority will be stained and naturally, this minimizes future opportunities. Few have been able to walk away unscathed by the accusation of plagiarism. It has lost many of their senior roles, careers, and good name. As authority figures, there is a great embarrassment after such an accusation.

This is why writers should take Grammarly seriously because it will avoid bumps along the way like the ones mentioned. The more regularly used, college-approved software as a plagiarism checker is Turnitin. When we ‘copy-paste’ others’ work or try to pass it off as our own, it is a breach of trust between the institution or teaching and examining the body and the student. To quickly filter out work that is plagiarized from that one that is not, many universities now require students to submit their works through plagiarism checker software like Turnitin. On Turnitin, there is a huge amount of work available that will allow you as the student to become aware of your errors and naturally change the plagiarized text and make corrections.
