I've talked about how creepy Office365's "editor" is, and how much I hate it. This video explains it even better, though. I can't believe that we've normalised the thinking that 1997 was some sort of "dark age", and that allowing software to police our language like this is somehow acceptable.

Every commercial I've seen for Grammarly, their "corrections" make the discourse worse. And those are their commercial-grade best possible corrections cultured to look good in ads.

It's a "tool" for the lazy, the stupid, and the gullible. Best case scenario: this and other tools like it are used as training wheels and abandoned when someone gets his writing chops down.

Seriously, it always seemed like it aimed at at the nonexistent intersection of people who flunked out of high school English, and people who write business copy.
