Language and Grammar
- Common Errors in English
The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. - MS Language Arts Website

Software
- Softease was formed in 1994 by a team of computer consultants with a vision to create software that is truly easy to use. With this in mind they set out to design a product that did what was required by the user, quickly and simply. At every stage of the design they asked the question...can this be done more easily? This philosophy produced Textease, an innovative word processor and desktop publisher with a strong emphasis on ease of use, without compromising the sophisticated results that can be obtained from software of its generation.
