““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.”
“I've used Grammarly (popular grammer corrector) and checked dictionaries to prevent myself from making silly mistakes when writting something in English. Should I stop these?”
“I am a native English speaker with a Masters degree and I use Grammarly on all my devices because mistakes and typos happen. Try to take note of what it's telling you so you can make fewer mistakes in speech.”
“I use Grammarly not to look silly outside. Though, it seems to make me more distressed and discouraged. It makes my writing slower and me more tired of doing that.”
“a friend of mine has grammarly pro and uploaded it to the engine and said it had ai generated content ;-; ai is writing like us and that should be a fucking problem btw”
“@ProfWoodward Yes Alan, but who are you to tell folk you are talking with that they may not use grammarly or spelling-correctors or scheduling helper apps, or even 1password perhaps (after all, it could access browser based e2e client content)”
“@cwarzel You are defining writing, it seems, as being entirely human-produced when that has not been the case for a long time (spellcheck, Grammarly, etc.)”
“Need to finesse an email or polish a blog post while on your phone or tablet? Enlist the help of a third-party AI keyboard like Wordtune, Microsoft SwiftKey, or Grammarly.”
