Third spruce tree on the left<p>Grammarly: we miss you! Did you take a writing break? </p><p>me: it's not you, it's my new IT department won't allow <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grammarly</span></a> and Microsoft Editor sucks donkey balls; I guess having proper <a href="https://mas.to/tags/spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spelling</span></a>, grammar and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/punctuation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>punctuation</span></a> in our product <a href="https://mas.to/tags/documentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>documentation</span></a> isn't a priority here at InniTrobe.</p>
Third spruce tree on the left<p>Its pretty sad when one of the few congratulatory / motivational feedbacks you get in your career is from <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grammarly</span></a>. "Congratulations Tree! You're outpacing the competition! You're in the top 97% of all Grammarly users!" </p><p>Which begs the question, I'm totally phoning it in here, what the hell are you all doing?</p>
Shantell Powell<p>I wrote a historical novella in nonstandard English (Maritimes vernacular), and an editor suggested I should use Grammarly. FFS. I know how grammar works, and used the correct rules of that vernacular. Grammarly would destroy the narrative flow of this story. <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grammarly</span></a></p>
JustMe<p>Here I was thinking I didn't do anything this week and <a href="https://indiepocalypse.social/tags/grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grammarly</span></a> is all “nah girl, you got this”.</p>
Alexis Miller<p>Grammarly, do you see a comma there? Does this LOOK like a nonrestrictive phrase? Okay, maybe it kinda looks like it. But it's decidedly not.</p><p>This silly app...</p><p>I get extra annoyed when I remember that people with less grammar-related training trust Grammarly. They're being misinformed.</p><p>I suppose that's why I and other <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/edibuddies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>edibuddies</span></a> decided to edit.

Taylor Durham<p>as of now, the best use case for <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> might be replacing apps such as <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Grammarly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grammarly</span></a> or <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/Hemmingway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hemmingway</span></a>, asking queries that generate entire captions and texts with sourced information rather than basic grammar software</p>
