I love cooking my children and my friends. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, wait \u2014 don\u2019t leave!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually meant \u201cI love cooking, my children, and my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you now see why correct punctuation matters? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two punctuations literally made the difference between a loving person and a merciless, bloodthirsty cannibal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s face the facts: even the best writers make mistakes from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not because they aren\u2019t aware of the rules they should follow. Rather, it\u2019s just easy to overlook the little things once you get into the writing flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punctuation mistakes are among those things. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll analyze and compare the top 9 punctuation checkers that will streamline the proofreading process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the right tool by your side, you can focus on pouring your thoughts into words \u2014 punctuation error-free<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Grammarly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Over the past few years running Master Blogging, Grammarly<\/a> has been one of my go-to tools in my content development strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It has everything you could ever want in a writing tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rich text formatting options, grammar checker, customizable proofreading goals, plagiarism checking \u2014 you name it. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Punctuation checking? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Grammarly has that feature as well. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Punctuation errors actually fall under the \u201cCorrectness<\/strong>\u201d category of Grammarly alerts along with spelling and grammatical mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Grammarly\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    To demonstrate how it works, I tested this post\u2019s introduction and intentionally added punctuation errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s what Grammarly\u2019s proofreading algorithms found out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Grammarly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    It comes to no surprise that Grammarly caught all of the punctuation errors I injected. Grammarly is, after all, one of the tools that I trust and personally use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Grammarly doesn\u2019t only find and highlight these issues for you. By clicking on an alert card, the assistant will provide correction suggestions for certain issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s an example of a punctuation error in my draft:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Grammarly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Clicking on the green correction suggestion will automatically apply it to your draft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s as easy as you can get with proofreading tools.<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To help you avoid similar mistakes in the future, Grammarly will also include a brief explanation of the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the case above, I deliberately left out the comma between two coordinate adjectives. This is a common punctuation mistake that writers commit when they\u2019re writing in a hurry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you still haven\u2019t fully grasped the rule you just broke, click the \u2018More\u2019 <\/strong>button denoted by the triple-dot icon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Grammarly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Grammarly will immediately expand the alert card with an explanation of the punctuation rule. Some examples are also included for your future reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Grammarly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Another punctuation mistake you should watch out for is a missing comma after introductory phrases. An example would be the phrase \u201cwith one of these tools by your side,\u201d which I included in my sample.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
