Grammar
I find Grammarly very helpful. It often adds a comma after a words such as however when I have used ti to start a sentence. If you are writing a speech, or reading aloud to check the sense, the commas indicate pauses.
Spelling
I love looking at word lists and spelling errors. The funniest I've found today was deity wrongly spelled diety. I am diety but not a deity.
Common Spelling Mistakes
wrong - right (depeding on context)
compliment (praise and flattery) - for complement (part of the matching whole or set)
complimentary (free) - complementery (part of the set, matching, going with it, completing)
dairy - diary
stationary (cars) - for stationery (letters)

NB Many websites use American English and some of the words they list as wrong spelling would be correct if you were writing British English for a British speaking audience.
