Sometimes it gets hard to know if a metaphor used in our mother language keeps working in English. The References tab allows you to search for a phrase, or part of it, in popular English publications. When Typenik finds some reference, you can go to the article and check if it matches your intention.
Another common situation is to be sure about the correct use of prepositions. Spelling and grammar can tell you if they are grammatically acceptable, but it is not enough. In the following sentences, both prepositions are correct: a) I am in the hospital, b) I am at the hospital. However, they express entirely different meanings. To vanish doubts like this, all you need is to explore references in popular publications.
Your writing in good shape
I enjoy writing b/c swapping one word can change the feel of an idea. "Buried under email" —> "Buried beneath email". The B B alliteration upgrades the rhythm. Writing is music. Plus, "beneath" adds to the suppressive power of buried. "Under" just can’t muster the same feel.
Understand better to better express
The more you know something, the better you can communicate it. A foreign language is not an exception to this. The more you go deep on it, the better you use it. To achieve clear writing and find the best words, expanding your comprehension of English is mandatory. Typenik also helps you get familiar with the conjugation of irregular verbs, and, in case a definition is not transparent enough, view images to understand it easily.
