What?

>>16398529
It's how many errors grammerly found in my document.

>>16398545
grammarly is for retards who want to write like bugmen to communicate with esl businessmen. Good writing it truncates, because something shorter and simpler is possible.

It helps me. Sometimes my mind automatically reads a word as a different word. It's nice to have it pointed out.

>using grammarly
Please don't do this. Just sit down with a grammar book and learn the rules yourself. These online editing softwares are absolutely horrendous for fiction. Use it for your papers for school, but don't use it for anything else unless you want your writing to have absolutely zero soul

There are also times where it's algorithm helps me out. Like plane and plain as a kindergarten example. I'm not shilling. I don't know why yall clumped onto a grammar aid. It never hurts to get more red text on the page to look at.

I write in a manic rush. Not in some hoity toity slow pace inbetween cigar puffs. Editing is separate to the writing.

Ita.

Grammarly is fine to use for mispellings or accidently changing tense mid sentence.
You don't HAVE to do what it tells you to do...
half of english grammar is knowing when to use a comma anyway

grammarly is full of shit

I can’t believe people download these superfluous apps. It’s like the meal-kit services they advertise on podcasts.

When the shit hits the fan, and somebody goes to write this generation’s “Babylon, Revisited” they are gonna have the absolute lamest material to work with.

Didn't read the terms and conditions did you

>>16398524
I just used to fix small errors. I am too lazy to look for misspellings and commas.

redpill us anon

>>16399157
Let me guess. Everything that you write is stored in their database?

>I RUSE GRAMMARY

>>16398963
And? What's the problem with that. Writers in the past had a masterful grasp of grammar as a bare minimum because they all knew Latin

>>16399197
>because they all knew Latin
That’s definitely not the only reason why

>>16399157
elucidate

>>16398545
Lmao, I'm the anon you were replying to, fuck grammerly just check over it yourself or stuff it and send it in its pure un-carcerated form to whomever it needs to be sent to.

>>16399202
That's true, a large part of it came from them simply writing a lot more on average. Having to write out letters instead of typing broken English into a cellphone or online forum helped a lot. But there's no denying how much Latin can help with one's grasp of grammar; being that it is a language where comprehension stems from how well you understand the grammar rules and subtleties
