[ExI] Online grammar check

I've found two free online grammar checkers that seem useful. Better
than MS Word anyway!

<http://spellcheckplus.com/>
Seems slightly better, but has a 2000 character limit.

<http://www.spellchecker.net/spellcheck/>
Is also good.

The big advantage they both have is that they detect the difference
between affect and effect.
i.e. "Affect" means "to alter" or "influence." "Effect" means "to accomplish."

However computers are still unreliable at the very complex task of
checking English grammar. Like googling, you need an education first
to sort out what's right from wrong.    :)
