Thanks for writing this Gem, looks absolutely awesome. I hope Ginger Proofreader keeps their API up also, but I will definitely write some tests in my app to make sure it's working. I noticed in your gem you are using your API key, and I'm not sure about their rate limits, but it would probably be in everyones best interest to get their own key.
How do you anticipate using this in your apps? Will you integrate it on the client side to provide real time feedback to users?
That's what I was wondering. It's neat, but how much do people really like having their grammar corrected? Might be more off-putting than it's worth. That said, Facebook's grammar correction in the comment widget is a godsend.
I have no idea about integration yet. I use command line for the result and ruby session for more details result. I think realtime feedback for comment (like derwiki's comment) is nice idea.
I don't see the API documented on http://gingersoftware.com. It seems to hardcode the API key it sends to http://services.gingersoftware.com/Ginger/correct/json/Ginge...
@subosito: I take it you work for these guys? What's the rate limit? Commercial or non profit usage terms?

Yes, you're right jschuur. Ginger software only gives windows installer, and they don't have an api documented. Since I am Linux user I can use their web based tool only, http://www.gingersoftware.com/features/grammar_checker.html. I had an idea to wrap it into a rubygem and then gingerice was born.
I have no affiliation with them. I just see their service is awesome. I am not sure about their rate limits and usage term. That's why on Readme page I state "hope they will keep it free".

To get this pretty API to the python world.
