although I do feel the need to point out (and yes, I realize not as relevant to you per se) that it is not “towards” in American English but rather “toward.” Thus…it still doesn’t point out all the mistakes =D
I’m also not sure if I like it, it points out mistakes, but does it help us correct them and learn from it?
Needless to say, I rely far too much on my word processor and auto correct and spell check and grammar check and and and and all of it!! =P

Most on-line sites (including WordPress constantly urge me to use American English when I type. It drives me crazy. I. Will. Not. When will they realize? Darn… realise?

Rofl! Hence why I said it didn’t really pertain to you. But it’s something I have to constantly edit when I’m copy editing for someone.
