The English language really stinks sometimes. It just does. There are too many rules to keep up with, and all of these rules have exceptions. American adults have been diligently learning the English language since grade school, and yet most people make simple spelling and grammatical mistakes every day. While no ill will will befall upon someone for misspelling a word in a Tweet or using thing the word “we’re” when they really should be using “were” in a Facebook status update, serious ramifications can take place if spelling and grammatical errors find their way into the professional world. Maybe, just maybe, you can get away with a spelling or grammatical error if writing is not in your job description. But if it is and you slip up, you are done. Bye-bye. No job for you.
Enter Ginger. This new program is so much more than your average proofreader. Ginger is your one-stop destination for all of the proofreading needs a young writing professional requires: a spelling and grammar checker, sentence rephraser, translator, dictionary, text reader, and personal grammar trainer just to keep you in shape.
Spell check is a helpful tool, but it does not cover everything. It does not catch words that are spelled correctly but do not belong in a sentence. Ginger knows. It knows the difference between “turning the light of” and “turning the light off.” Little catches like these can be the difference between a great article and an earful from your boss.
The sentence rephrasing tool is a nifty little gadget that can shake up your sentences. Need to change your sentence from passive voice to active voice? Got it. Want a more descriptive adjective to give your thought more color? Done. Need a well-placed idiom to drive the point home? Ginger has you covered. This little feature is the way to bring your content level up just enough to stand out from the crowd.
The translator, dictionary, text reader, and personal grammar trainer are all handy tools alone, but Ginger’s uniqueness is that it brings them all together in one place. This comes in especially handy on mobile devices. Instead of having to download four or five apps on your phone or tablet, you can find all of these services in one centralized app.
The daily grind for a writer is just that-a grind. Anything that can help make the job easier should be embraced and celebrated. That’s why Ginger is taking off.
