Search engines do not like spelling mistakes. You do not look good to your readers if you have lots of mistakes. Personally, i have to proofread every paragraph as i write
It was painful to watch, cause it flowed so slow, but i do’t blame the site for it, I blame my network. It would have been a great asset, but unfortunely I didn’t have the pleasure to hear the narrator.
Hi Jay, by default passive voice and hidden verb flagging are disabled. If it’s getting flagged so much it’s because you have the flag passive voice option enabled. Go to your user profile to disable it.
Some styles of writing (technical writing, plain english) frown on excessive passive voice. It does muddle the writing.
Can someone explain to me why when you download the plugin, you’re not actually getting the software, just an interface to it? (I don’t mind, I’m just wondering what the reasoning behind this is). Thanks.
Modern browsers do have spell-checking, yes, but After the Deadline does quite a bit more. You can see it in action for yourself here: http://www.polishmywriting.com/

Michael,
I enjoy your useful presentations.

P.S. the elevator background music is an unnecessary, annoying distraction.

To make After the Deadline smarter, a lot (really, a *lot*) of data is collected. AtD works by using contexts and detailed language models.
It’s far easier and more effective for AtD to store that information and provide it to you as a service.
