E-mail Checker?

Post by TopHatFox »

Do any of you use an e-mail checker to make sure your e-mails are free of typos, grammatical errors, are politely written, etc.? FoxType and Hemingway Editor are my favorites thus far.

Could be useful to avoid needlesss scrolling/eye squinting.

reading emails again before hitting "send" seems to work OK for brute.

I have a Chrome extension called Grammarly installed. That catches a lot of mindless errors, especially when I am ripping through boring work emails. I use the free version and have never felt compelled to upgrade.

I go with the Brute solution. Many email programs identify misspelled words, though.

I also sometimes compose emails and then leave them in a draft folder and look at them again later before sending.

For enigmaT120 too, unless I'm using a phone. Then I embarrass myself.

Oo, this is awesome! It already corrected "afterwards" to "afterward."

The easiest way to proof something short like an email is to read it backwards.
