    Do you have Microsoft Word? Or most word document progras for that matter.
    If the computer feels your punctuation is poor, it will underline it in green. Right Click on your mouse and it will give you suggestions as to better ways to organize your sentence.

    Improperly spelled words are underlined in red. Right click and it will give you suggestions for the correctly spelled word.

    There is also a built-in thesaurus.

    Some here may roll their eyes at my mentioning this, but not all writers are computer savvy, and that is what keeps the literary world varied and interesting.
