How to reduce punctuation errors?

[Robert Obikanyi]

Grammarly is what I use to check for errors in punctuation. I'm sure this helps reduce the hassle when I'm taking error notes while reading. But Grammarly for proofreading is not your best option, although they are essential. I usually pass my text through several editors like Prowriting Aid.

I use Grammarly and also another one - Grammarcheck

Thank you so much. I will try it.

You have to read more on how to build sentences and paragraphs. Use Scribeens and Grammarly together. If possible proofread your a day after you wrote it.

Thank you . I would try it together.

Agree! I use both of these, plus a site that reads it aloud to me so I can hear it from another voice. It’s helped me earn very high scores lately. I have also started slimming my sentences and making more simple sentences to help with clarity.

Great post and super helpful answers. Thanks everyone!

You could always try sticking with simple sentences, as opposed to compound ones, if it's the commas that are tripping you up.

I started doing this, but I felt it was stifling my writing.

Another great grammar checking tool I use in addition to Grammarly is Quillbot.

Thanks for raising this issue, those were really helpful replies. I didn't know you can check punctuation.

I just found a program that helps with correcting errors. I am not a writer; my first few reviews are terrible. I do not want to do this to make money. I like the experience and enjoy reading. I hope the program will help me feel more confident with the process.

Having had 4 punctuation errors in both of my first 2 reviews this is definitely what I’ll be doing from now on. First review I was completely under prepared for how strict the punctuation checking would be. I ran the second one through 2 apps/websites to remove as many as possible but still had 4.
