       Maybe #Grammarly has improved a little since this test by Lane Greene at the Economist, but it remains a cautionary case study:https://archive.ph/brLvq#language #grammar #writing #editing #EnglishUsage

       @stancarey It’s a shame that people will rely on services like this (or, worse yet, Word’s grammar checker) instead of just learning how to write better.

       @mlanger Well, I sympathize with the impulse to rely on an automated shortcut, since not everyone has the time, energy, or cognitive bandwidth to learn this stuff

       @stancarey @mlanger Even if you know the grammar and spelling perfectly, automatic checks are useful for catching the odd typo.
