The only two issues not caught were an admittedly tricky sentence fragment (omitted punctuation at the end of a sentence) and the use of the word “gooder,” instead of “better.” Google’s spelling and grammar check identified five out of seven errors this time ( Figure B, left). Over time, Google’s systems have improved.
