If you are like most techies I know, myself included, you hardly spend your spare time trying to perfect your writing skills. If you re like most of the world, your new best friend is the spell check or grammar check in the word processor you use. They make life so easy for some of us. But say something such as Microsoft Office, or Star Office by Sun Microsystems is a little more than you need. I suggest you try a text editor or editor suite.
Text editors are ideal for drafting letters and articles, or just about anything, for that matter.
And no matter what your task, there is probably an editor out there that is perfect for you. Even if you are a writer and would still like to bypass the embarrassment of submitting an article or story about sceince fiction instead of science fiction, there is an editor for you. Take RoughDraft for example, it is a word processor designed specifically for writers. It has an option that allows you to specify the format of your literary masterpiece. RoughDraft not only spell checks, but it does so in British or American English.
