If you are going to write on social media, whether to promote a brand, to promote your personal brand or simply to socialise, you must make the best use of grammar and spelling possible.

Not making spelling mistakes is essential to take care of your online image.

Your faithful ally, the spell checker, does not always detect all the errors.
