Grammarly although supposed to be 'free' in its basic form is otherwise costly per month. For example, their Premium monthly subscription is $29.95 per month, but becomes cheaper if you 'sub quarterly


A much better one I found is British Council.org which I think will be very useful. It has rules to make 'LearnEnglish a fun and safe place to improve your English' by following their board's guidelines.

I hope this can be helpful to you.

Grammarly, in my opinion, is cool. But $29.95 a month exceeds my budget. It still interests me how they come up with their algorithms for correcting writing.


A better way is trial and error.

Revision helps improve writing as well.


I think writing every day would help anyone interested to become a better writer. But then read what you've written sometime with a red pen (or its computer-driven counterpart) and revise!


Writing is a big part of my life. Perhaps I'm biased towards thinking that everyone should learn how to write. However, I still think there's some truth to the sentiment.


Happy writing!

There's no way I'll pay $29.95 or even the equivalent in Pounds Sterling. But that British Council.org is a mighty good place to start, and, it's free.

Since you asked, if you've been trained to use Calculus, then you would know it's used for building algorithms. Though I'm not a mathematician, one application I can think of is its use in optimization, which leads to applications in Machine Learning. If you're interested, you can see it in action in this basic Machine Learning lecture from Stanford: pdf http://cs229.stanford.edu/notes/cs229-notes1.pdf

Every morning I sprinkle matrix derivatives on my cornflakes.

Enjoy your writing.

Half an hour ago my daughter found this interesting writing site, called 750 Words.

750 Words - Write every day.

It's more about writing ('getting into your brain') than actual learning. But you should have fun putting to practise a regular writing regime, and being most encouraged for it by other writers. It's a husband and wife team who are also on Twitter and Facebook. I think it's worth trying, and if you have a bash at it, please let us know how well you did.
