I misspoke a bit about individuals who use "they" pronouns.  The pronouns for them would always be plural.  The verb gets more complicated.  If the subject is a plural pronoun, the verb would also be plural, but if the subject is a name, title, or phrase referencing an individual, the verb would be singular.  So you can get a mix of singular verb and plural pronoun in those cases, which a grammar checker is not going to get right.

The moral of the story, though, is that auto-grammar correctors will not be perfect, so don't trust them completely.

Hi my esteemed listmates,

I was wondering which sites others use to check for grammar?

Grammar Girl and Grammar.com don't seem to allow you to type in a phrase to check on its grammar.

Ex. The community is invited to share their thoughts...

Is that the correct matching of singular/plural nouns with pronouns?

Thank you?

Charles.
