Recommended online grammar checker?

Is there any good and recommended online grammar checker that any of you have come across before? I usually use Microsoft word but that is not fool proof. What I need is something which can give suggestion and recommendation including support for online dictionary. Any idea?

Hi, I realize yours is an old post but since there was no answer to your question, here comes mine:

You can check this site [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which is a combination of forum and translator.

I mostly just google a word and then make a guess among the many results.

Good luck

Ok. Thanks but I would rather go for something without limitation and nagging popup screen to ask you and buy. Recently I've also used [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and it serves my needs well.

Good for you hwang to be able to find a spell and grammar check tool that serves your purpose well.

Actually google search engine can be a powerful tool for spelling (but no for grammar) check. Sometimes, if I'm not sure how to spell a certain word, I will just type in whatever I think is correct and let google correct it and make suggestion instantly.

If you still have trouble try googleing it. If i have learned anything about websites and google, the best thing is to try new things.

Spelling is always easier to check than grammar, that is why there are so many spell-checkers on the market but very few intelligent grammar checkers

Yeah.... very few creditable grammar checker are around nowadays. Apart from the one suggested above, others which I've tried are not really reliable and doesn't really give good suggestions. Some will ask for paid services but I would rather go for free ones.

Asking for paid ones is just unreasonable there are still good/decent free ones avalible online, there are just to many ads that annoy the hell out of people.

Using Google for grammar checking can be done, but if you have no clue at all as to what is correct or not, it's like gambling

Google is more towards spelling check only. I don't think it can detect any grammar error at all.
