Knowing what the red wriggly lines mean is a start.

From my experience, however, it's the native English speakers who spel the worse.



Speaking of red squiggly lines in Word/MS products. Is it just me or has the grammar check gotten incredibly worse the past 2 years? It keeps complaining about odd grammar forms and suggesting I replace perfectly valid word-structures with shorter ones? The one I encounter most frequently is the suggestion to replace "in order to" with just "to", which is incredibly frustrating as they mean two different things entirely.


You'll get plenty of words flagged in a tech resume. Besides, spel chequers werk grate.
