Phras.in

Phras.in is a wonderful browser extension that can help people learn the eccentricities and peculiarities of various phrases in the English language. The extension has an intuitive interface that makes it simple to use and extremely useful. Compare two phrases to see which is used most often or which is correct. The application will show you the number of times that phrase is used through the web in real world sentences. This helps you decide which phrase is more common and gives you access to immediate examples of how that phrase is used in various sentences.
