Grammatik V is a program that will proofread text for basic errors in grammar, style, usage, and punctuation. It has several features that make it attractive for psychologists. The program allows the instructor to modify existing rules, create new rules specific for psychology, and edit the help and advice screens. When the program detects a potential error, it provides advice for remedying the problem and allows the user to edit the problem. This program is a useful adjunct for helping students learn APA editorial style and prepare written assignments for their courses.
