The website avoids mentioning the cost, while it offers a seven day free trial.

I copy / pasted some text I recently wrote in a Forum post, into the demonstration utility, and it accused me of plagiarism, claiming "Unoriginal text detected".

It didn't like my writing style, but gave me full marks for spelling and punctuation.

This is too much like having a third grade teacher holding a wooden ruler, hovering over me waiting to rap my knuckles if I make a mistake. Who needs that kind of stress...mg:

Thanks, Steve.

I assumed it was free from the lack of mention of any charge.

Another drawback is that it conflicted with (actually disabled) another add-on in Firefox which I use several times a day so I've uninstalled it already from Firefox.
