    Default Grammerly Spell Checker

    Is anybody using this? I'm using it as a spell checker on my Chromebook and it works fine, apart from when I post on AoS! For some reason, since the latest update, I have to disable it to post here otherwise the text in the message box becomes unreadable. Has anyone else encountered thsi?

    Do spellcheckers have an algorithm that detects mis placed apostrophes or corrects when words should be compounded (as in misplaced).
    I wouldn't worry about it - no f*cker else does here

    Or that tells you that you have typed 'form' and not 'from'? Useless things.

    It's a little known fact but spelling was actually invented by the television producer Aaron Spelling in 1954. Which is why we still call it 'spelling' today.

    I use a spellchecker. I go back and re-read what I've typed. If that fails, there's always the edit option.
