End of sentence punctuation

Grammarly doesn't recognize a comma at the end of a greeting or a sign off, e.g., Hi JC, or Best Regards,  Would be good if we could choose certain phrases or numbers that we frequently use - something akin to a custom dictionary. I'm in the telecom industry and there are words and names that do not need to be changed but that are flagged each time.

Otherwise, I love this program! Microsoft spell check leaves much to be desired. Grammarly always catches the misspellings for me.

Thank you!
JC

How about bulleted lists; it asks for final punctuation.

First, let me say that I appreciate Grammerly, it is great. However, I tried submitting a new document for review and after many tries of pasting in different ways, it always came back with a huge number of ending punctuation errors. Feeling slightly frustrated, I cleared the board and submitted a piece I had written a while ago which I had corrected through Grammerly and it did the same thing. Ending punctuation and formatting was off the charts. I know the older piece did not have those problems the first time, so it must be something recent. I am not sure what to do. Has some sort of update on either word or Grammerly gone awry?

Thanks, Chad

Dear all,

The issue with the formatting and the resulting punctuation alerts in Firefox should be resolved. Thanks for your comments and using Grammarly.
