CorrectOrNot.com provides spelling, grammar, and word-usage content for general informational and educational purposes. We work hard to make it accurate. We care about details. Still, language is complex, usage changes over time, and context matters. That’s why this page exists.

Short version: Use our content to learn and improve your writing. Do not treat it as legal advice, medical advice, academic publishing advice, or a substitute for professional editing.


1) Educational Content Only

The information on this Website is intended to help readers understand common spelling mistakes, grammar rules, and word usage. It is not intended to be a comprehensive language authority for every situation.

If you are preparing content for a contract, a legal filing, a medical document, a high-stakes academic publication, or a professional editorial workflow, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified professional and/or the relevant style guide. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s common sense.

2) No Guarantees

We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee that all information on the Website is complete, correct, or current at all times.

Language shifts. Style guide recommendations change. Dictionaries add and revise entries. Usage norms evolve. A page that is correct today may require updating tomorrow — and we actively maintain content with that reality in mind.

3) Regional & Context Differences

English differs across regions. American, British, Canadian, Australian, and other variants may use different spellings, punctuation preferences, or usage conventions. If an answer depends on region, we try to say so clearly. Still, the “best” choice can depend on audience and context.

For example, a spelling that is acceptable in casual writing might be avoided in formal publishing. Both can be “correct” in different settings. That’s why we focus on practical guidance, not just technical definitions.

Rule of thumb: If your writing has formal consequences, verify your choice with the appropriate style guide. If it’s everyday writing, our guidance will usually be enough.

4) External Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience and context. We do not control third-party content and are not responsible for its accuracy, availability, or practices.

Visiting external sites is at your own risk. Always review their policies. Especially if you’re providing personal information.

5) Ads, Affiliates & Editorial Independence

We may display advertisements and use affiliate links. This helps fund the Website and allows us to keep content available without charging readers.

Important: Ads and affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial conclusions. If a word is misspelled, we say so. If a commonly used form is nonstandard, we say that too. We’re here for correctness, not comfort.

6) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CorrectOrNot.com and its owners, authors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any losses or damages (direct or indirect) arising from your use of the Website or reliance on its content.

In plain language: you are responsible for how you use the information you read here. We provide guidance. You apply it.

7) Contact

If you believe something on the site is incorrect, unclear, or outdated, we want to hear about it. You can submit feedback or reach us directly at support@correctornot.com.
