Write Better and Spend Less Time Editing
Proofread everything you type with After the Deadline
Now that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has sold more copies than this year’s Pulitzer Prize winner, it’s no wonder spelling and grammar are on the decline (we’re looking at you, YouTube commenters).
The good news: This problem is curable.
After the Deadline is a browser plugin that finds spelling and grammar mistakes in text boxes all across the Internet. Facebook posts, tweets, emails, blog comments – type as you normally would, click the small icon, and your errors are underlined and correctable with a few clicks.
There is a Firefox add-on and a Chrome extension; other browsers can use a simple drag and drop bookmarklet. For larger chunks of text, paste the selection into the online tool and clean it up in a jiff.
In the fight for proper diction and syntax, call it modern warfare.
