Writing hastily often leads to a couple of grammar mistakes, if you're not feeling like "indulging" yourself to read again and correct it all. All of this proves to be a nuisance if the message you have written this way is sent to somebody who is, say, your English teacher, or just somebody in a bad mood that feels like telling you about it and correcting you in an embarrassing way, or using a tone that's very suggestive.

That's why a new Facebook application has been launched and it looks like a sure winner when it comes to grammar correcting. First of all, because it's free and you can add it to your profile just by clicking here and second of all because, well, it's a savior for essays and similar projects that need good grammar. The application is called WhiteSmoke (no idea where the name came from) and it is the result of several years of work, so it's pretty well built.

"While the desktop version of WhiteSmoke has additional features like writing templates and the dictionary-thesaurus, the Facebook application still brings the full power of WhiteSmoke's grammar detection and correction, helping users easily communicate in grammatically correct English," Amit Greener told WebUser.com.

Of course, this is a means of advertising the product that is available on the Internet in exchange for money, but as long as it does its job and it's there to help the target people of the social network that most need it, it's welcome. It's a fact that teens, who have grown up alongside the Internet, have some difficulties when expressing themselves in writing, using all sorts of acronyms and so on.

"For years now, there has been talk of instant messaging and SMS causing the quality of English grammar to deteriorate, and even of school children using text-speak in the classroom and in their essay assignments," WHiteSmoke's CEO, Hilla Ovil Brenner, told the same source.

"The WhiteSmoke application for Facebook can help improve this situation by providing an intuitive solution for grammar checking that fits right in with the Facebook experience," Brenner concluded.
