    The new Google Docs grammar suggestion squiggles are more persnickety than any teacher I had in school. It's like Dolores Umbridge read the AP Stylebook and is leaving suggestions in your document.

        Yesterday it aggressively asked me if I wanted to know the definition of “of” after apparently several violations of misusing it

        I like that I can click the little 'x' on a wrong suggestion and know I'm training an ML model somewhere.

        “Persnickety” is definitely not used on Twitter or in common parlance frequently enough

        This is such a delightfully descriptive tweet. I don't even need to see the Google Docs suggestions to know exactly what you're describing 😅

        I am pretty sure my one my first internally public emails at Stripe got a Collison squiggle within ~5 minutes 😂 After I asked how I can get better you sent me a link to “On Writing Well”. Life changing stuff 🤗

        I love @Grammarly but turn off the extension. I find that grammar checkers interrupt my flow; there is a distinct phase after the first few drags are done, where I move into grammar correction mode. I do wish Grammarly app was substantially better tho :/
