WhiteSmoke is highly optimized to correct English writing mistakes that are made in the course of natural writing, based on literally hundreds of thousands of texts that we analyze and store in our database. Due to the infinite amount of possible grammar errors, our team of linguists have compiled an extensive array of the most common and probable grammar mistakes made both by native speakers and by second language English speakers. The optimal way to test WhiteSmoke's capabilities is by running it on existing documents,
and not by feeding it deliberate errors. These intentional errors differ from the ones we naturally make when we are writing. For example, people tend to omit words (approx 1/3 of all mistakes) in the flow of writing, or under use punctuation marks, especially commas (approx 1/3 of all mistakes).
Of course, these are just the most common mistakes, and WhiteSmoke knows how to handle many more, and with great success.
