Your Google Search grammar errors are about to get an AI scrub

Description:
Grammar check is now available in the US, However, it has limits like it's 
only in English and restricts certain content.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Google Search is apparently now an English teacher as, not only will it check 
your spelling, it will now check your grammar. 

 Available on both desktop and mobile devices , the aptly named grammar check 
tool will determine whether a sentence or phrase you entered is grammatically 
correct. If it isnt, Google will offer suggestions on how to fix it. For 
example, typing in the cat bite me check grammar into the search bar will 
cause Google to respond with the cat bit me as the correction. Hovering over 
the fixed text makes a Copy button appear for quick copying. If you enter a 
grammatically correct sentence, the tool will simply respond with a green 
checkmark next to the entry. 

Unlike spell check, grammar check wont activate automatically. Instead, 
you'll have to enter a trigger command such as grammar checker, grammar 
check, or check grammar at the end of a phrase. This is probably for the best 
as people dont always enter full sentences into Google Search. It would get 
annoying really fast if every time you typed in a few words, the feature 
activated. Limitations 

There are some restrictions. First, its currently only available in English 
with no word if the update will expand to other languages. Next, the company 
is warning people that results might not be 100 percent accurate, especially 
with partial sentences. Its recommended you stick with double-checking 
fleshed-out sentences instead, although the tool may still have some trouble. 

In our experience, grammar check is unable to determine the difference 
between less and fewer. We entered, My grocery cart has less items than the 
person in front with a trigger command at the end. No matter what command we 
used, the feature would not activate. Because of its limited nature, Google 
is asking people to provide feedback which you can do by clicking the 
Feedback button on a grammar check result. A window will pop up where you 
make comments. (Image credit: Future) 

Its also important to mention that the text you enter must adhere to Google 
Search policy. You cannot input profanity or anything hateful, dangerous, or 
medical in nature among other things. The full policy can be read on the 
Google Search Help website . 

We reached out to Google to ask if it has plans to expand to other languages 
and if this update is available in other countries or if is it US-only. None 
of the official pages mention any other global regions. This story will be 
updated if we hear back. TechRadar's list of the best free writing apps for
