Hi - I thought that this program looked GREAT, and it might make my life easier - also for me its FREE!
I can use if through my browser, or Word, even social media - ALL FREE
So, raising my suspicions as I'm just a natural-born skeptic...I checked the TOS agreement.
Some of the verbiage (of which there is a LOT) is omitted, per Steem requirements - I am concentrating on the questions and providing the quick definition of the legalize for you.
