It’s every writer’s “gotcha” moment. You’re in a hurry, yet you’ve written a comment/review/post so brilliant, it’s likely you’ll win the Pulitzer – assuming you’re not made absolute ruler of the planet first.
Except you edited it like you were on crack, mucked it up, and didn’t notice until after you hit “post.”
Damn.
Now it sits for all eternity – an embarrassing piece of text with the name of a supposedly professional writer attached to it.
There is, however, hope.
After The Deadline is a Firefox plug-in that offers “Spell, Grammar, and Style Check” right in your browser.
After the Deadline Firefox plugin
According to the site, it offers a more powerful spell checker than Firefox, and flags misused words, grammar issues, etc. (Remember when browsers didn’t even offer spell checkers? Oy.)
It’s a given that everything that flows from my fingertips is perfect just as it is, yet I installed AfterTheDeadline for testing (everybody has an off day).
It’s too early to rave, but I figure it’s never too early to stop making embarrassing mistakes.
