The worst thing about typos is only realizing you’ve made them after you’ve already embarrassed yourself to the world. Just ask Rudy Giuliani.

On a much smaller scale, though, making typos is still pretty damning. You may accidentally message your friend “shat’s up” instead of “what’s up.” Sure, you can laugh about it afterward, but what if you send a garbled email to your boss, or worse, your whole damn department? There’s a big difference between “this project is a go” and “this project is a ho.”

You can keep blaming your stubby fingers, or you can just get WhiteSmoke to prove to everyone aware that you are not, you know, illiterate.

WhiteSmoke functions as a writing assistant to ensure that every text, email, and tweet you send is error-free. Using artificial intelligence algorithms, it scans your work to spot grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style errors in 50 languages and offers suggestions on how you can rectify them, so you can avoid sending off something with an egregious typo. 

It’s compatible with Microsoft Word and Outlook to proofread emails and documents, and it works with browsers too. 

A lifetime subscription to WhiteSmoke Writing Assistant typically retails for $399.95, but you can get it on sale for only $79. Use the coupon code MERRY15 at checkout to avail of an additional 15% discount.
