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/

No need for this since modern browser got this already implemented !

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.

Yes, After the Deadline is fully compatible with WPMU.

The proof-reader feature rocks!

But, the Visual Guides are absolutely amazing! .. Good show!

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.

This one will prop me up on the pedestal, and spread a net for me if I slip off.

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.

I still don’t get why “passive voice” gets flagged so much.

Great work! I’ve gone ahead and installed it straight away on my self-hosted blog and I’m really impressed. It almost makes me want to write more

It is actually already available for self-hosted WordPress, and has been for some time:

Michael,
I enjoy your useful presentations.

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

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.

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

Grammar is useful for SEO ( i think )
