There is a big difference! Kelsey Grammer is an American actor. But aside from Kelsey’s last name, “grammar” is not a word in the English language. You won’t find it in any English dictionary.
You may ask why should you care? Everyone will know what you mean, whether you spell the grammar with an “a” or an “e”, right? For some people that is true. However, there are many reasons to write correctly.
One big reason is that you need to use good spelling in business writing. You may be writing a cover letter when applying for a job. It might be the best cover letter you’ve ever written. You can make it the obvious first choice for the job. But if you don’t use the correct spelling, it will appear, 1) like you’re not very smart, and 2) like you can’t present yourself properly through your writing. Poor spelling in business communications will reflect poorly on you and your employer if your writing leaves the company. And, can you think of a company that wants to look bad to its customers and potential customers? Good spelling always says something about the writer (the employee) and the company. Bad spelling does too.
Another reason to spell words correctly is because English is a complicated language. You can tell a “tale” (tale) and a dog has a “tail”. You may “accept” (take) a gift, but your mother may say that it is okay to accept gifts from everyone “except” (but not) from strangers. If you misspell words or use them incorrectly, you can change the entire meaning of your sentences and give readers incorrect information.
English may also not be your reader’s first language. Spelling in English is even more difficult for English learners. And it is also very difficult if they read English that is not spelled correctly. Unlike those for whom English is native, people who are learning English as a second language may not understand misspelled words in sentences.
So what can you do to write better in English? Writing tips can be found in many places and the first tip is always to be careful when writing. Don’t write sloppily and expect your writing to be acceptable to everyone. If you want to be a good writer, spell like a good writer.
Second, there are many tools available to help improve English writing. Spell checking is common in most computer word processors to correct the writer’s spelling. And there are other language tools available that offer features beyond simple spell checkers and that provide help in improving English grammar.
Lastly, there are other great tools available to help you write better in English. These are English writing software programs that offer powerful features beyond simple spell checking. These not only identify and correct spelling and grammatical errors, but also improve the text by distinguishing the proper use of words like “tail” and “story” and “accept” and “except”. Most simple word processors won’t pick up on the subtle difference between words like these because even though every word is spelled correctly, they may not be used in a grammatically correct way. A good writing software program has the power to recognize these differences each time and make corrections. Such a program can become any writer’s best friend.
