“Our institute have a grammarly service (before AI) and we use it for normal grammar checks like spelling etc. apart from that my coauthors are also good at correcting the English.”
“I'm not sure about grammarly, but ProWritingAid's ai assistance will encourage you to write in the "ai" voice (which is just a voice so generic it's uncanny). I try to avoid any sort of LLM-powered grammar checker, though google docs runs on one (that's why it's so laughably terrible).”
“Grammarly says everything resembles AI no matter what you write. If you really want to check use a Turin based like zerogpt, but if you wrote it you shouldn't need it”
“No issues for me, make sure your not running any extensions like Grammarly, language translations etc, and make sure your not alt tabbing or switching tabs.”
“And frankly, OP should limit use of Grammarly, too, because I've noticed its suggestions will often flatten things a lot. I have a Grammarly account and experiment with t because I'm a writing professor and need to know what my students have access to, and I do NOT like what I see there.”
““thought I’d no his answer” is such an elite mistake because I read this entire caption like five times after some suggested I need to use grammarly & still didn’t know what I did wrong.”
“Grammarly. It tells me where I’m wrong. Then from there napipick up ko saan ako madalas mali. The key is wag select ng select ng suggestion, I review the sentence and then figure out bakit ganun suggest ng Grammarly.”
“I've also tried Grammarly and AI tools like ChatGPT, pero gusto ko talagang maintindihan at ma-internalize yung rules — hindi lang umasa sa tool na mag-ayos ng writing ko every time.”
“That said, you should never blindly accept Grammarly suggestions. You should understand what and why it is suggesting something and if their suggestion makes sense for what it is you are trying to say. If it doesn't find another way to say it or simply declines the suggestion.”
“I put it through grammarly, and it says 55% of my essay resembles AI😭I’m upset. I (an AI hater) worked so hard on my essay and wrote it completely myself!”
“Grammarly is a complete chaos on google docs, first I tried checking a long document (>70 pages), no red or blue underlines appeared. I tried switching to a shorter document (13 pages) and still the same. If I open the widget it starts giving me suggestions but wont point to where in the text its making the changes.”
“Grammarly used to be more like the grammar checker on word or google docs where it’s just notice simple errors and spelling for you, but now it generates recordings and entire sentences as ‘corrections’. It definitely functions more like an AI writer now.”
“The bigger problem is that Grammarly is frequently wrong, especially if you're using it on an LMS like Canvas or Blackboard where built-in software works to counter it. It's doubly inaccurate for anything that includes non-English words and even flags some non-white names as typos.”
“There's a lot of middle room between "Leave obvious grammar mistakes just so our writing looks more “human”?" and "open Grammarly, fix the mistakes, and submit it". I would recommend just rereading your own work and identifying your own grammar mistakes.”
“I don't think you need to stop using them completely. They can be useful tools—but I would be careful about using them to check every single sentence before you allow yourself to move on.”
“I agree, Grammarly helped me a LOT in grade school, but I still had to like, do the work, it just told me what I did wrong. Sad to see how it is now.”
“I’m a professor and got this accommodation for a college student this year. Not even couched as Grammarly or spell check. Literal, generative AI to be used on essays in exception to course policy. So… don’t use the old “this won’t fly in college” because apparently it will.”
“the grammarly thing is a bit of a trap though. its fine for important emails but if you run every message through it youre training yourself to fear mistakes, and that fear is what actually slows you down and wears you out.”
“Because grammarly is correcting you. Idk how grammarly works entirely but if its fixing it for you an youre not the one fixing it, it doesnt stick that its wrong when you spell it. Its like if a person fixed all your spelling mistakes without telling you they were misspelled until after.”
