Does anyone know if writing dynamo is good?

It is on dictionary.com and it is supposed to help your writing skills. I was wondering if anybody else has used it before.

Re: Does anyone know if writing dynamo is good?

TBH I've only just gone to have a quick look... It appears to be an online version of the grammar/spelling checkers that you get in most WP offerings... Except that you get to pay $5 for the privilege...
It seems to check spelling, common word misuse, cliches/common phrases, active/passive voice and a couple of other things that are all part of the standard grammar engine for Word, OpenWriter & LibreWriter.
Don't really see the point...

And the example I saw got principle/principal wrong, so I wouldn't trust it, anyway!
