Eliminate errors. This is the “low hanging fruit” of any spell checker, but it is an absolute must. Whether you are writing an internal email or an infographic to be published in Forbes, the easiest way to instantly lose credibility and distract the reader is to have spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes that make it into the final version.

Expand your vocabulary. With a built-in synonym suggestion feature that is optimized for contextual analysis, you will be able to spruce up any piece of content with fresh words to keep the reader engaged and interested.

Publish more readable content. Many marketers overlook the concept of readability, which is not as cut-and-dry or easy to define as spelling errors and punctuation mistakes. Grammarly Premium offers a vocabulary enhancement feature that goes beyond pointing out mistakes by also making suggestions for writing that flows properly and makes the best use of word choices.
