Have you ever wondered why you should care about grammar? Why bother with
good grammar once you’re done writing essays for school?

As the world becomes more digitally connected, good grammar is more important than
ever.

What Is “Good Grammar?”

What do we mean by “good grammar?” Proper grammar follows the accepted
conventions of sentence structure, punctuation, and spelling. Grammar applies to
both written and spoken language, but today we’re focusing on written grammar
skills. Using correct grammar means following the rules of English.

There are a lot of rules, and they often chan‌ge, but the basics stay the same.
Knowing these basic rules, and using them correctly, is the key to proper grammar.

What’s the Purpose of Grammar?

Grammar exists to make communication easier. It’s a way to standardize how
we use the English language, which cuts down on communication errors. Poor
grammar leads to confusion and misunderstandings.

Everything is online these days, which means people are constantly reading.
From email and social media to news articles and online learning, we are using written
language more than ever. This means the chance for misunderstandings is even
higher. Good grammar builds bridges by making effective communication easier.

Thankfully, as the world becomes more connected through the internet, we now
have technology to help us avoid grammatical errors. We believe good grammar is so
important that our grammar checker will always be free.

Why is Grammar Important?

The most important aspect of communication is clarity. Grammar rules exist to

improve clarity. Mixing up similar words, or using run-on sentences, can leave your
audience confused.

Clarity is especially important in email, social media, and messaging platforms.

When grammar mistakes cause unclear communication, it wastes time because you
need to explain yourself all over again.
 If you’re giving instructions, your audience may do something wrong because
they misunderstood. This may lead to an unnecessary argument caused by poor
communication skills.

Using correct grammar won’t eliminate every miscommunication in your life,

but it will drastically cut down on them. Correct grammar allows you to say what you
need to say, clearly, the first time.

Good grammar improves accessibility. Not everyone reads on the same level.
Learning disabilities like dyslexia can make reading comprehension difficult, but
correct grammar makes writing easier to understand. Assistive technologies that read
text out loud also work much better when grammar is used correctly.

Readability is an essential part of accessibility, even for people without learning

disabilities. Readability scores can help you reach an average reading level that the
majority of people can understand.

For writing to be truly accessible, it has to be understandable for non-native

English speakers as well as native ones. When we learn other languages, we learn
proper grammar; it takes a much higher level of fluency to interpret incorrect
grammar. By writing with good grammar, you ensure that non-native speakers have a
higher chance of understanding you. That’s the power of language and grammar: we
can connect with people from across the world who speak many languages. Grammar
rules make this connection easier.

In any situation where you need to make a good impression, correct grammar
will help, which is especially true in professional and academic settings.

Don’t discount the importance of cultural dialects. Even dialects follow

grammatical patterns. But these grammatical patterns and rules don’t always line up
with standard English grammar.

In professional situations, aim to use standard English grammar rules.

Using good grammar also shows attention to detail.

This is a highly valued professional skill, and when you send a cover letter or
other important document that has exceptional grammar, it makes you stand out from
the masses.

We’ve covered how grammar is crucial for clarity, but grammar also helps your
words make an impact.

Grammatical patterns can help you emphasize ideas, evoke emotions, and
entertain your audience. Playing with syntax and word order is how you can take your
writing from drab to exciting.
