I don't see the API documented on http://gingersoftware.com http://gingersoftware.com. It seems to hardcode the API key it sends to http://services.gingersoftware.com/Ginger/correct/json/GingerTheText 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 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".

  Well, it's definitely cool, but what you're saying then is use with caution, because they're bound to find out ;) Good press for them though and a nice little gem by you. Great work!
