UK English or US English? Switching from one to the other can be like trying to write in a foreign language.
Like many writers who do a good deal of business as copywriters for online companies, I am often required to write using either UK or US English. Sometimes converting between the two can be a nightmare, not only when it comes to the many hundreds of spelling differences, but also those little idioms, phrases and descriptions which can easily be overlooked.
Which is why I was delighted to find myWriterTools – a little addon that installs into Microsoft Word and offers one-click translation between UK and US English. One click, and the document is fully converted to either US or UK English, with all spellings, phrases and idioms corrected. Fantastic!
it also includes a whole heap of other great little features, such as helping to reduce sentence length, removing cliches, and cutting down on adverbs. For the modest price, it’s one of the most valuable tools I have ever come across. Take a look – I fully recommend it.
