Re: Grammarly

I totally understand the need for something like this, but after having tried it, I think it's a bad software.

It's well known not because it's good but because they are quite aggressive in publishing advertisement all over the internet.

My main grip is that a lot of false positives, it points out "errors" that are in fact correct.

The irony is that if you pay for premium, Grammarly will detect more fake errors. So if you use it, make sure to use the free version :)

But seriously you should rather invest time setting up a good spell check in your favorite OS or text editor than use Grammarly
