Ah Grammarly, the tool that is dumbing down the need to know how to spell of write sentences with reasonable grammar. Highly dangerous. Barry, for you and your profession, why on earth do you need such a vile tool?
Trying out the Grammarly keyboard for iOS. Not a great start. It just corrected iOS to its.

I think your last tweet illustrates why I use it beautifully (read it back carefully). We all make mistakes. And journalists have always had sub-editors to make sure you never saw them. Grammarly helps fulfill that role.

Barry, watch their promo advert where a young "professional" joins a company as "head of social media". Surely, someone in that position should KNOW how to spell basic words like "patience" and use words in the correct context no?
-
People made the same arguments about spell checkers 20 years ago. Would you have those removed?
-
If removing spell checker from software would help the children of today, to learn to spell, the meaning and context of words, then yes I would support that. When did we all become so lazy as we could not be arsed to put the time into writing with accuracy? I hate Grammarly.

I don't think technology is to blame for that or that's even necessarily true. People said calculators would stop people learning times tables. Same arguments have been made for decades.

We shall have to disagree Barry.

Not even an apostrophe?

I have to say their plugin for Firefox is very useful as a pointer to potential errors. -
Yep, big fan of the browser plugin, although it doesn't work as well in Firefox as it does in Chrome on my PC.
-
I only use Chrome for sites that refuse to use other browsers. Have been a Firefox convert for many a year.
