Which Sentence is Punctuated correctly - Writing's not easy. That's why Grammarly Helps You Become a Better Writer

Each time I read about how to be an author or copywriter, I always felt discouraged, writing isn't easy.  The fee for editing can be so daunting. Apart from taking the pain to bring out the idea, I need to pay hugely to edit.  I need to think about "which sentence is punctuated correctly?" which one is not? What sentence do I need to add? Which one should I subtract? I almost give up on my copywriting journey, because sometimes I might have great content ideas to share,  but the fact that I must present such ideas in a clear and precise manner mostly discouraged me.  "Perfection is the Enemy of Profitability…. 'You Only Have to Be Right Once" Mark Cuban This quote has really helped me to understand that dedication and perseverance are more valuable pursuits than perfection.  In the pursuit to become a better writer, I discovered Grammarly. And immediately, I had no need to worry "which sentence is punctuated correctly?" again.

I downloaded it on my phone and PC (as an extension using Google Chrome). My writings and copywriting skills - on social media posts, blogs, articles and books - are getting better and perfect than before. Now, let me help you understand this dope app - Grammarly.

What Is Grammarly? 

Grammarly is a cross-platform cloud-based writing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement, and delivery mistakes. It uses AI technology to identify and search for an appropriate replacement for the mistake it locates.  It also allows users to customize their style, tone, and context-specific language.  It was launched in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko, Max Lytvyn, and Dmytro Lider.  (Thanks to Wikipedia) In simple terms, Grammarly makes you write like a professional.

How Does Grammarly Create A Better Writing Experience?

Like I said, my first ebook was made possible because of Grammarly. I didn't ask so many "Which sentence is punctuated correctly?"s... Yes, I did my typing with Word and then had to activate Grammarly on my phone. And within a split second, I saw the errors and made the corrections too.

How To Get Started Writing With Grammarly? 

Download the app on your smartphone by visiting the Google Play store and search for Grammarly. Once you download it, it becomes a keyboard option for you like you have a Gboard keyboard by Google. You can decide to use your normal keyboard to type and then change it to a Grammarly keyboard, which is what I do. For PC users, you just have to download the PC version, install it and activate it as an extension in any of your browsers. Once done, you're good to go.

Types Of Error Detected By Grammarly 

Grammarly can show you what your normal literacy school memory can't quickly capture… … so you don't have to ask, "Which sentence is punctuated correctly? And which one is not?" Spelling errors.

When you misspell words, Grammarly will sort them out for you. And not just that. It'll give you suggestions of words to choose from. Grammatical errors

"... then I couldn't see her because she was going to the house." If that's what your sentence looks like, the same application will sort it out for you. And make the necessary corrections, give you suggestions. Tone of sentence

One day, while using my laptop to type, I saw something new on Grammarly.  It tells you how your work would sound to the reader. Passive or active voice….  The feeling was pleasant? If you want to write a horror novel, Grammarly can make that happen.  If it's comic relief material, Grammarly will laugh for you, adjust the mode of your content to know that it will be enjoyed as relief material. Plagiarism checker 

It does this by checking billions of other pages online. For you to be perceived as a professional and with integrity, you know you have to be void of plagiarism, especially as a blogger and copywriter. Readability

I've written lengthy sentences and I see Grammarly tell me how distracted my sentences are. Language adaptiveness 

What does this mean? Grammarly has an option to make you write like an American or Australian or the top varieties of English language if set properly. That means your work can be adapted for American English or British English or Australian. Therefore giving it a touch of the nativity.

How To Edit Your Copies Using Grammarly.

I gave a hint but not completely on how to do this. Here, I'll show you how this can be done, with more options for you to choose from and not be bothered about which sentence is punctuated correctly or not. And also depending on the plan you choose.  Yes, Grammarly has free and premium plans. Trust me the free plan is so lovely that you might ask, what's the need for the premium? Well, I'll let you know about that too. So how can you do this editing on Grammarly? Premium version? The first method of writing and editing with Grammarly 

For the first method, after writing your initial work, you then copy and paste everything - an entire article or extracts of your writing - into Grammarly for spell check, proofreading, and grammar checking. If you don't want to copy and paste and maybe have errors from copying, you can use the second method... The second method of writing and editing with Grammarly

In the second method, you upload your work in Grammarly by clicking on 'Import'.  Once done, you'll see notifications and directions on where to get the file from, and once uploaded, Grammarly does the magic. The third method of writing and editing with Grammarly

The best form for me is this third method. Do you want to see it? Just put on your laptop, connected to the internet and start writing directly into the app.  Yes, you can type directly into Grammarly… meaning it becomes your primary writing tool. And of course, as you type, Grammarly will automatically get all the errors immediately with options for corrections. Last method of writing and editing with Grammarly

Then the last method, which I mentioned before, is for Windows users who can install it as a plugin on Microsoft Word document or Google docs, and add Grammarly browser extensions for every other user including Windows users.

Pricing Structure For Grammarly

Like I said before, the free version is so good you will want to stay with it. However, the premium gives you more options and flexibility. Before I tell you the prices, let me give you a brief difference between the two. Grammarly Free Vs Premium Version 

Grammarly free version contains most of the features of the Premium version but the advanced grammar checker, a plagiarism detector, and some vocabulary enhancement suggestions. So when you use the free version, after all your checks, you'll see where further enhancement is made available only if you upgrade to the premium version. So if you're a blogger or copywriter with a low budget, the free version can give you enough tools to use to make your work good. The additional features for the premium include detailed information about each of your grammar mistakes in the pop-up box, additional writing insights, and an ability to set writing goals; finds and fixes more mistakes than the free version. Grammarly Business Plan Features  A business version was added too where you have: - Admin and user management controls for the privacy and security of your team’s work - Priority 24/7 email support - Centralized billing - Monitoring tools for checking engagement trends This version is good for a business team to work with. It's cost-effective as well. Grammarly Pricing:

GRAMMARLY INDIVIDUAL PLANS - Monthly at $30.00 / month - Quarterly at $20.00 / month (billed as one payment of $60.00) - Annual at $12.00 / month (billed as one payment of $144.00) GRAMMARLY BUSINESS PLANS  at $12.50 / month/member (billed annually. 3 members minimum.)

Punctuation Mark in Hindi - विराम चिह क्या है?

नमस्कार दोस्तों। इस पोस्ट में, हम विराम चिह (Punctuation Mark) का अध्ययन करेंगे। इसलिए इस पोस्ट को अंत तक पढ़ें विराम चिह के बारे में कोई संदेह न रहे।

विराम चिह (Punctuation Mark) की परिभाषा:

भित्र-भित्र प्रकार के भावों और विचारों को स्पष्ट करने के लिए जिन चिह्नों का प्रयोग वाक्य के बीच या अंत में किया जाता है, उन्हें ‘विराम चिह्न’ कहते है।

अथवा

 विराम का अर्थ है – ‘रुकना’ या ‘ठहरना’ । वाक्य को लिखते अथवा बोलते समय बीच में कहीं थोड़ा-बहुत रुकना पड़ता है जिससे भाषा स्पष्ट, अर्थवान एवं भावपूर्ण हो जाती है। लिखित भाषा में इस ठहराव को दिखाने के लिए कुछ विशेष प्रकार के चिह्नों का प्रयोग करते हैं। इन्हें ही विराम-चिह्न कहा जाता है।

अथवा

अपने भावों का अर्थ स्पष्ट करने के लिए या एक विचार और उसके प्रसंगों को प्रकट करने के लिए हम रुकते हैं। इसी को विराम कहते है। इन्हीं विरामों को प्रकट करने के लिए हम जिन चिह्नों का प्रयोग करते है, उन्हें ‘विराम चिह्न’ कहते है।

यदि विराम-चिह्न का प्रयोग न किया जाए तो अर्थ का अनर्थ हो जाता है।

जैसे-

(1)रोको मत जाने दो। (2)रोको, मत जाने दो। (3)रोको मत, जाने दो।

उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों में पहले वाक्य में अर्थ स्पष्ट नहीं होता, जबकि दूसरे और तीसरे वाक्य में अर्थ तो स्पष्ट हो जाता है लेकिन एक-दूसरे का उल्टा अर्थ मिलता है जबकि तीनो वाक्यों में वही शब्द है। दूसरे वाक्य में ‘रोको’ के बाद अल्पविराम लगाने से रोकने के लिए कहा गया है जबकि तीसरे वाक्य में ‘रोको मत’ के बाद अल्पविराम लगाने से किसी को न रोक कर जाने के लिए कहा गया हैं।

इस प्रकार विराम-चिह्न लगाने से दूसरे और तीसरे वाक्य को पढ़ने में तथा अर्थ स्पष्ट करने में जितनी स��विधा होती है उतनी पहले वाक्य में नहीं होती।

अतएव विराम-चिह्नों के विषय में पूरा ज्ञान होना आवश्यक है।

विराम चिह्न की आवश्यकता:

‘विराम’ का शाब्दिक अर्थ होता है, ठहराव। जीवन की दौड़ में मनुष्य को कहीं-न-कहीं रुकना या ठहरना भी पड़ता है। विराम की आवश्यकता हर व्यक्ति को होती है। जब हम करते-करते थक जाते है, तब मन आराम करना चाहता है। यह आराम विरा�� का ही दूसरा नाम है। पहले विराम होता है, फिर आराम। स्पष्ट है कि साधारण जीवन में भी विराम की आवश्यकता है।

लेखन मनुष्य के जीवन की एक विशेष मानसिक अवस्था है। लिखते समय लेखक यों ही नहीं दौड़ता, बल्कि कहीं थोड़ी देर के लिए रुकता है, ठहरता है और पूरा (पूर्ण) विराम लेता है। ऐसा इसलिए होता है कि हमारी मानसिक दशा की गति सदा एक-जैसी नहीं होती। यही कारण है कि लेखनकार्य में भी विरामचिह्नों का प्रयोग करना पड़ता है।

यदि इन चिन्हों का उपयोग न किया जाय, तो भाव अथवा विचार की स्पष्टता में बाधा पड़ेगी और वाक्य एक-दूसरे से उलझ जायेंगे और तब पाठक को व्यर्थ ही माथापच्ची करनी पड़ेगी।

पाठक के भाव-बोध को सरल और सुबोध बनाने के लिए विरामचिन्हों का प्रयोग होता है। सारांश यह कि वाक्य के सुन्दर गठन और भावाभिव्यक्ति की स्पष्टता के लिए इन विरामचिह्नों की आवश्यकता और उपयोगिता मानी गयी है। हिन्दी में प्रयुक्त विराम चिह्न- हिन्दी में निम्नलिखित विरामचिह्नों का प्रयोग अधिक होता है-

हिंदी में प्रचलित प्रमुख विराम चिह्न निम्नलिखित है-

(1) अल्प विराम (Comma)( , ) (2) अर्द्ध विराम (Semi colon) ( ; ) (3) पूर्ण विराम(Full-Stop) ( । ) (4) उप विराम (Colon) [ : ] (5) विस्मयादिबोधक चिह्न (Sign of Interjection)( ! ) (6) प्रश्नवाचक चिह्न (Question mark) ( ? ) (7) कोष्ठक (Bracket) ( () ) (8) योजक चिह्न (Hyphen) ( – ) (9) अवतरण चिह्न या उद्धरणचिह्न (Inverted Comma) ( ”… ” ) (10) लाघव चिह्न (Abbreviation sign) ( o ) (11) आदेश चिह्न (Sign of following) ( :- ) (12) रेखांकन चिह्न (Underline) (_) (13) लोप चिह्न (Mark of Omission)(…)

(1)अल्प विराम (Comma)(,) –

इसे भी पढ़ें- शब्द युग्म क्या है उदाहरण सहित

 वाक्य में जहाँ थोड़ा रुकना हो या अधिक वस्तुओं, व्यक्तियों आदि को अलग करना हो वहाँ अल्प विराम ( , ) चिह्न का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Day 23/100: The Umlaut. Nominally two dots above specific vowels in German, the word "umlaut" comes from one of the Brothers Grimm... Jacob Grimm was not only a collector of fairy tales (along with his brother Wilhelm), but also one of the most famous linguists ever. In 1819 he described a sound-change process that affected the historical development of German. He called it umlaut from um (around) + laut (sound). Technically, "umlaut" doesn't refer to the dots, but to the process where, historically, a vowel got pulled into a different position because of influence from another, upcoming vowel. Quite a lot going on for two tiny dots!

Vicious cycle

Sometimes I can’t help but think of the irony of birth. The first day we’re considered to be “officially” alive we’re slowly dying by the very thing that allows us to live: oxygen. It’s like we are a blank book waiting to be filled and the only indication of the direction of the story is a period on the last page. I’ve been thinking of ways that I can transform that period into any other punctuation; I want my life to deserve an exclamation point or warrant a question mark. At the same time, I get so caught up in trying to make life worth living that I miss life. It’s a vicious cycle of wants and needs and missing the moments in between.
