Word Resources

Word Counting Tool

Sometimes articles have to be a certain amount of words. Microsoft word may count the words, but what if you are not using Word when writing? This is when a word count tool comes in handy. It is a little bit smarter then the normal Word counting process.

What it does count :

• Words made out of the alphabet.
• Words made from a combination of alphabets and numbers.
• Words with an apostrophe ( ' ) and a hyphen ( - ).

What it DOESN'T count:

• Words starting with an apostrophe ( ' ) or a hypen ( - ).
• Words made solely from numbers, examples:
  • 1234 will not be counted
  • 1234a will be counted
• HTML tags

This really comes in handy when I am writing something that is not that long. Like when I have something that I want to write about, but should only take about 400 words to get it out. 

Paper Rater

Paper Rater is an free online resource that allows you to check for grammar, proofreading, and more. You can submit the Title and Body of your article and it will rate it based on a few areas.It can alert you if plagiarism is being detected or not. I typed in an article I had published to see what all it would say. It told me lots. For one is said my work is plagiarized, it actually showed me the link to my article I wrote. It told me that I need to improve on my vocabulary words. I thought I was fine in that area, but it made a fool of me!

You can submit many types of paper, some which can include a grade from the system. A list of the types of papers you can submit are the following:

• Research Paper
• Personal Narrative
• Essay
• Letter/Email
• Book Report
• Speech/Presentation
• Lab Report
• Short Story
• Movie Review
• Other

No matter what age group, how much school you have had or how long you have been writing. This website will probably show you a thing or two that is missing or that you may be doing wrong.
