Do you use a spelling and grammar checker on GaG?

[msc545]

I use one because it saves me a LOT of time. If you need a really good one DM me and I will give you a link.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Absolutely! One of the few things I like about the app.

It still sucks we aren't able to edit typos, because let's face it: sometimes when you're typing, especially when you're typing on a small phone keypad, you still can make grammatically errors. But the spell check changes it to another word instead 🙄

[Bilboes]

English is not my main language, and the possibility of making a grammar mistake makes me paranoid. That's why I use it to suppress my worries.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

What’s Your main language? Do You often make mistakes that the checker notices?

[msc545]

@HippieVeganJewslim My first language is English, but I am not a particularly good typist and I make mistakes that Grammarly flags and sometimes auto-corrects.

[Bilboes]

@HippieVeganJewslim Well, I'm Swedish.. I usually ignore checkers because they interfere with sentences that I don't want to correct, like a conservative parent..

[msc545]

ok as you wish

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Tack!

[slatyb]

I should because when I write answers on my phone I often don't carefully read before sending. :-(

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, I use the one Chrome offers.

[msc545]

Chrome has one? How do you access it?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@msc545 I've been using this one Grammar Checker & Paraphraser – LanguageTool

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Grammar Checker & Paraphraser – LanguageTool

[msc545]

Is that a part of Chrome to begin with or is that an add-on of some kind?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@msc545 It's a addon

[msc545]

thanks - I will check it out

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@msc545 You're welcome

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for MHO :)

[Apple1996]

Nah I just make everyone here deal with my bad spelling and grammar

[musicbrain5]

No, I don’t bother with it here. But I use Grammarly when it comes to work related things and if I’m writing something fairly lengthy. My employer pays for the access so I take advantage of it.

[OfMiceandMen]

I have to worry about that stuff in my day to day life. I just wing-it on here.

[purplepoppy]

I've Grammarly on my phone.

I don't always agree with it.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

No. I usually check my own grammar mistakes, and I’m quite good at it, compared to others. English is only my second language.

[exitseven]

No, I went to public achools whar they still taught you spelling and grammar

[msc545]

I did too and school is not the issue. The issue is that we all make mistakes and this is an easy fast way to identify and correct them.

Not everything is about your politics.

[Daniela1982]

@exitseven Whar? Are you sure they taught you spelling? 🤔😐😅😂

[exitseven]

@Daniela1982 Yes they did, they never taught me how to type.

[Daniela1982]

Me either, even though I took typing in high school. Was a dated course. Now everyone with a phone knows how to type, and with just their thumb.

[msc545]

Should be "Yes they did, BUT they never taught me how to type." Apparently no grammar lessons either. Grammerly will do that too for you.

[Daniela1982]

@exitseven That's true, Grammarly corrects my bad spelling all the time and anticipates the phrases you are using and puts it all out for you to copy. That helps with hard words to spell. Half the time I type "Waht" instead of "What" when I am in a hurry and it corrects it for me by underlining the misspelled word in red or blue. I would recommend it and it's free. At least I don't remember every being charged any money for it.

[Paris13]

On Many Things. Including my Books I write. xxoo

[TiaNour]

English is my 2nd language so I sometimes do

[Daniela1982]

Yes, I use Grammarly.

[msc545]

Me too

[Daniela1982]

It knows what I'm gonna type before I type it. ha ha

[msc545]

it does! Do you use the paid or unpaid version? I am using the unpaid version.

[Daniela1982]

Unpaid. At least I never see any money come out of my bank account for it.

[msc545]

Good

[Simslover92]

Nope I don't.

[gothbxtch]

nope
