Me-Now-Views; Bit Of Peek, Bit Of Speak

Running low to zero on new photos - these are the only two since the turn of the year. May have to resort to archives for the next few weeks.

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!)
