Legal Staff should be aware of the potential legal consequences of using ambiguous and/or faulty grammar and therefore opt to use Grammarly consistently. Grammarly is ideal for correcting spelling, punctuation, and grammar for emails and is automatic after an email account is set up. Grammarly is superior to spelling and grammar checkers built into WordPerfect and Microsoft Word. Although Wordperfect does not work automatically with Grammarly, a Wordperfect document text or any other text can be easily checked using various methods below.
A free version of Grammarly is worthwhile but the paid upgrade to Premium for your office email address at $120/year is worthwhile and willingly paid by the Corporation if you agree to use it regularly. You could start with the free version on your office email address and/or personal email address. After establishing either service, it automatically works on any computer after you log in with your email account address.
Go to https://app.grammarly.com and try it yourself. Download the free version, try it for a couple of weeks, and if you like it and are willing to use it consistently, upgrade to Premium. If you need tutoring, ask Jenna who is on our Office “IT” Collaboration Team. A good goal is to get everyone acquainted with Grammarly and using the Premium version if possible. All such charges are to be put on corporation autopay by Mollie.
