And the best thing you can do with all of them is ignore them.  Spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG) is the job of the writer.  Learn to do it yourself.  Until you do, your writing isn't going anywhere.  Any editor worth their salt can recognise text which has been run through a program: not because there are no errors in it - far from! - but because the errors tend to be ones writers don't make. 

This isn't meant to be easy.  Embrace the difficulties.  Write your own damn book!

Jo and I think the same way about this.  Learn your trade, do your apprenticeship, and you'll be a much better - and far more flexible - writer.

I'd also like to add that language isn't fixed. I followed the link - with safeguards - and it talks about precision of language rather than accuracy.  There is no such beast as absolute precision in a medium as flexible as language.

When Chaucer was writing, he was correct for his time, as was Shakespeare.  If you wrote like Chaucer now you'd be seen as semi-literate at best, or possibly dyslexic.

But all of this is irrelevant because...

The original posting is just an advert for one of those damned cheating essay writing services.  So that lazy bastards can cheat their way to a educational degree without needing to understand their subject the way those who earn their degree do.

Finally...  This kind of 'essay writing help' is of no use at all to those who want to write creatively, in their own words.

Yeah, I kind of figured that, Gyppo.  Thought the point was worth making anyway.  There are no short-cuts.  There shouldn't be any short-cuts.  Learn your trade before you try to practise it.
