    Ben's records (meaning records belonging to Ben).
  • Question
    My MS Office 2010 is in Dutch. Most of the time I write in Dutch and I use the spell checker of Word and Outlook. Will Grammarly get confused or interfere with text in other languages?
    How.com.vn English: Chris

    Top Answerer
    Unfortunately, Grammarly only supports the English language. Because of this, it could either count all the Dutch words as misspellings, or just not work at all.
  • Question
    Why doesn't Grammarly work on my PC?
    How.com.vn English: Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Grammarly requires Office 2007 and later. Install the latest updates for Office and try again.
