It looked the spelling, grammar and punctuation errors 400 words text each company.

Grammarly compared the mistakes made Coke and Pepsi, Facebook and Google, and Ford and General Motors (GM). It found that Coke made four times fewer writing mistakes than Pepsi. Coke has a bigger share the cola market than Pepsi. Google made nearly four times fewer mistakes than Facebook. It also makes a lot more money. Finally, GM made more mistakes than Ford, which is a more profitable company. It is unlikely that the occasional grammar mistake will make you buy a Coke instead a Pepsi.
