Website that can check if a sentence is grammatically correct?
Any websites that you can enter a sentence and it will tell you if you are grammatically correct?

So answer me this....is the phrase:
Be DETAILED ORIENTED grammaticallly correct?
Or is "Be Detail Oriented" the proper way to express the phrase?

Well, that statement is a sentence fragment, but the actual expression is "detail oriented." for example, on a job posting, I would write, "An ideal applicant for this position should be detail oriented."

So is it "incorrect" to say detailed oriented? It doesn't sound correct to me. Asking b/c someone else used it and I am questioning "detailed oriented".

"Be detail oriented" is absolutely not a sentence fragment. It's a command -- and therefore a full sentence.

I've never heard "detailed oriented." The correct expression is "detail oriented."

I am not questioning the "type of sentence".
I just was questioning the use of detail vs detailed. To me, Be detail oriented is correct. Be detailed oriented is incorrect.

That's correct.
