Assisting Affiliates with Spelling and Grammar Check

Assisting affiliates with spelling and grammar information before they write their articles as their main means of traffic generation, is intended to make them aware that just because they use the spell and grammar checker frequently and proof read their articles before submission, they need to be aware that they cannot rely on a spell and grammar checker to get the English correct.

The English language has so many bylaws and nuances to each word and to confuse matters even more, many words sound the same, are spelt totally differently and have totally different meanings. This at times gets confusing for people whose first language is English so it must be an absolute nightmare for any person who speaks English as a secondary language.

The reason you must not rely on a spell checker for correct spelling and grammar is because some words like "Gorge" and "George" are both totally correct but Gorge refers to a steep valley or deep cleft between mountains where George is a mans name. Both are spelt correctly so they won't show up on any spell checker.

If you misuse either of those words in a sentence or paragraph you could end up with some very peculiar articles. No woman would ever want to be married to a gorge and no man named George would like to be called Gorge.

As if that wasn't confusing enough let's throw in the third meaning of gorge. If someone overeats then they are said to gorge themselves. This is also spelt correctly but has a totally different meaning again.

Assisting affiliates through the English spelling and grammar conundrum will hopefully make life a bit easier for everyone
