What do you do to double check your grammar and to spell check your hubs ?
English is not my native language but I'm trying to improve it through writing and speaking with native speaker. I want to know if you know any way to find either a proof reader or a website better than spellchecker for grammar.
I currently use http://www.spellchecker.net/spellcheck/ to double check grammar and spelling error but it seem it not enough.
The best method I have found is to write the original copy using Microsoft Word which has both spell checking and grammar help along with synonyms and a thesaurus. It is a simple matter to copy and paste the edited version into your Hub. Yes it isn't free and it isn't perfect, but it is worth every penny and has so many other functional possibilities.
The best thing to spell check and grammar check your writings is using Microsoft word it has all necessary facilities to improve your writings as my friend Bozoplay mentioned. I also was in search of any software for that and ultimately settled with Word. It is doing better for me.

When i comment on a hub, before i hit ok i use the spell-checker to correct the typos. But after posting my comments for one reason or another i had to edit them sometimes re-writing a whole new one but i notice that the spell-checker is not available to me anymore when i edit. Is it possible to...

I have noticed that the spell check within the capsules does not recognize certain contractions, such as, "I've," and will underline it as an error, when in fact, there is no spelling error.

It seems many people writing in the forums do not have a spell checker.Firefox has several that work very well. How about other browsers?Although we may all do it at times, constant misspelling is a bit irritating, so I wonder if people don't know, don't care or can't get a spell checker to work in...
