I always thought that my spelling and grammar usage was really OK. But, I needed a spell checker for my phone and for my Chromebook.
I stumbled on this free app called Grammarly.
Oh, what a surprise it was to find out how many times I was using too many ( or sometimes too few) commas. How many times I actually missed typing a word that I thought I put in a sentence. How using a word like (spellchecker) spell checker is really TWO words, not just one as I'd been typing it for years. Yes, it does the spell checking job just fine, but a lot of programs do that.
It still misses things like which.... to, two, too,.... that I use. Heck, I ought to be able to catch that one. Unfortunately, it doesn't pick up the wrong use of ....your and you're......, but I ought to know better anyhow.
Anyhow, you might want to give it a try, especially.... if you think that you don't need it.

p.s. I don't think that I ever signed up for anything official with Grammarly. If it asks "do you want to correct it with Grammarly?...." I just go fix whatever it highlighted on my own.
