Using a a grammar and spelling check inside the editor
It can be useful to use a spelling and grammar checker right inside the editor to check the text of your article before you publish it. We recommend installing the free LanguageTool extension, which can be downloaded for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. With this extension you can check your text for grammar and spelling mistakes right inside the editor and even build up a personal library of words that you consider as correct and that do not have to be checked.
The LanguageTool extension supports many languages, including Dutch and English.
