Editorial check for finished articles: the things a spellchecker never catches

Your browser already checks spelling and Grammarly’s free tier already checks grammar. This does the other job — the one a sub-editor does, catching the things that embarrass you a week after publication.

Your browser checks spelling and Grammarly checks grammar. Nobody checks the article: the statistic with no source, the “recently” that will be wrong in six months, the piece that promises three reasons and lists four, the headline the body doesn’t deliver. Those are the things that embarrass you a week after publication, and this reads for them.
