   Exactly my point. If you want to present a professional appearance, 
do not rely on the grammar-checking in MS Office to get you there. 
Nothing replaces checking with a Harbrace (or a native speaker) when you 
need to make sure that what you are sending is grammatically correct. A 
good idea is to contract with a local college student who speaks both 
languages to check your most important emails. The low-priority ones do 
not have to be perfect. But if you are trying to project a professional 
appearance, nothing beats having the language in your email (or letters) 
verified by a native speaker.
