That was your bit of peek... now for the bit of speak.
I have been using Grammarly for seven years now. I am a decent user of the English language, but when typing as many words as I do in a year, it is easy to become a bit lax and have typos, transpositions, and such. The app gives weekly reports on how one is progressing with word count, style, etc. I am up to nearly five million words since I started using the app.
Frankly, I sometimes get very irritated with the thing because it doesn't adapt to my idiosyncratic usage - the style I like to apply to this blog. Therefore, I frequently override its suggestions for 'improved usage'. Who wants to be churning out the same stuff that everyone else will be if they are on Grammarly?
That aside, it has been well worth the £120 annual fee, and I recommend it if you are a prolific writer.
It occasionally makes me giggle. This little badge popped up as I was composing an email the other day. Long-term readers, do you agree or disagree? (I'm a grown-up, you can tell me!)
Beautiful photos, Thanks a lot for sharing about Grammarly.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful view...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views.
ReplyDeleteYes s good description...an makes me think of Catalyst's blog too!!
Your pictures are very lovely, YAM. As for Grammarly, I have never even heard of it, let alone used it. I do not consider myself a “prolific writer” and whether my output has merit or not is for others to judge. I will carry along merrily doing what I do!
ReplyDeleteyes, agree 100 percent, all hail The Catalyst! ha ha. I see the ads for Grammarly and know I need it, but not the cost. I spend my money on PicMonkey which I have been neglecting lately. I just depend on word to tell me when something is wrong...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful views, I love the second photo. Some people have a way with words, not me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful week!
The photos are marvelous!
ReplyDeleteGreat snaps YAM aunty.
ReplyDeleteI PURRSONALLY love your writing style compared to me YOU ARE an A+++++ wordsmith, and I enjoy that you use many Scottish terms. I have learned a lot..
Hugs cecilia
Love the snow on the mountains! I've never used Grammarly.
ReplyDeleteI recall your top photograph and adore the silvery light.
ReplyDeleteThose are two very beautiful photos. We always enjoy your writing style.
ReplyDeleteWe love your views today. Our mom needs some help catching spelling errors. Sometimes her fingers work faster than her brain and strange words come out. BOL!
ReplyDeleteWow! Mom forgot all about Grammarly! She quite using it when she was writing in 4 versions of English (UK, Canadian, American and Australian) at her last job! It was ALWAYS telling her she was wrong! Love the mountains in the background...do they have snow on them or is it the light that makes them look that way? Keep being awesome! Marvelous Marv and Barb
ReplyDeleteI avoided using Grammarly for the same reason that it doesn't appreciate my idiosyncratic ways with language. I stopped even MS Word help with grammar.
