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.

Ok fair point I made a spelling mistake, but I still stand by the fact that this software is dangerous as it gives the perception that you don't have to think about spelling and grammar.
