"Questions" is plural. There is no need for an apostrophe-s as this denotes possession! See it for yourself at http://www.linguisoft.com/support.html
Even if this has become common usage, it is still grammatically incorrect. Gimme a break!

That may be so, but the developers changed it on their website. Their Support page now has FAQ and FAQs — no apostrophe!
Good for them!

Gryphonent, you are an interface beta tester. A bulk of the PRO2 R&D has been on grammar and spelling, and ground-breaking proprietary lingual research takes time. This product has been in development for over 28-years. The main design goal of PRO2 was to further the core quality of grammar and spelling checking.
Folks, if you have questions or you seek answers, please look to our website http://linguisoft.com or send an email to ME. Thanks to those kind and wonderful people who help out here!

It messes up styles when corrections are pasted in Pages, it is difficult to install, it is overly complex to use, and the fact that you have to install Rosetta to uninstall it tells how old and outdated it is.
The grammer quality itself is sort of good; it misses some errors but not more than what I have seen elsewhere. It has no option for learning a custom grammer construction, however, which is annoying. Also, I am now waiting for support to get back to me - the entire app stopped working after a few weeks and after wasting about an hour, I had to give up and write to support.
This app doesn't cost much and doesn't offer much value in return. It does get you irritated, though.

For one thing, you spelled 'grammar' wrong. To learn proper grammar, spelling, and so on, you have to be extra persistent and conscientiously check everything you write, even short emails.
I have Grammarian Pro X, It was easy to install and use. I didn't have to read any instructions... just looked at the menus which were self-explanatory.
Aside from that, people expecting to all-of-a sudden start outputting professional-looking documents, with Grammarian and the like, are in for a rude awakening. Nothing beats a human editor. I found that GPX often makes silly errors; takes words or phrases out-of-context.
But it's great for finding misplaced and misused commas, periods, and so on... avoiding the need to search word-by-word through a long text. And if you put your text through Options>Statistics, the software grades your writing for readability in comparison with famous writers (not for talent, just readability level haha.) One piece of mine was compared to an Ernest Hemingway short story lol
Anyway, definitely worth the 40 bucks.

Many users have expressed their concerns regarding the interface and stability of this application. As far as i've discovered, the interface runs effortlessly in the menu bar and has yet to crash on neither my machine or my girlfriends with the latest version. As i've seen in these reviews, the developer cares about the reputation of this product, and what consumer doesn't like that type of care and attention. This is an excellent program! Keep up the good work.

Im a simple mac user and also a student. I require some sort of grammar checker as my english; spelling and grammar, is terrible. I have tried to download many programs AND NONE WORK! I'm so tired of this.
I downloaded this program in the hopes of success, but yet again, dis-heartned by it failing.
Apparently it is installed but when i tried to "check all" it wont allow me to.
