   Readable, Quick and Easy to Use

   I've tried other proofreading programs and found them to be very limited. ProWritingAid is the only program I know of that has a built-in grammar checker. Also, the free version has a lot of features that paid versions don't have, so I highly recommend it. This program is great for students who want to improve their writing skills. It's especially helpful for those who write in other languages, because the grammar checker can help you spot errors in your translations.

• my grandmother's power usage is excessive, (300/mo). she lives in a small house and does not have a hidden weed operation. help!??!

  I don’t see it mentioned here, but if you really wanted to know what is using power in her whole house, you could get a “Sense” energy monitor. It gets installed by you inside the main breaker panel and lets you see/learns what uses power and allows you to pinpoint large wasters. A little pricey up front, but could easily pay for itself.
