FYI, I use Grammarly for editing. It isn't perfect, but even the free version is pretty good. One of the readers for the (old) Lush advised I use. College grad that I am, the suggestion hurt my pride I bit, but I've been using for over two years now. As I do a fair amount of mainstream writing, for me, the professional version is worth the price. Just wanted to share.
I agree.
I have noticed a couple of quirks. Grammarly will flag any sentence that starts with the word This.
I don't write at a graduate college level, so I'm always amused when one of my words gets flagged as Even an educated audience may not know it.
But have your wits about you, take its comma prompts with a pinch of salt.
Having used it for a number of year now, it has started to affect my enjoyment of all manner of prose. When reading even the most lauded, accomplished of authors, I often find myself mentally inserting a phantom comma in all the places I know grammarley would suggest one.
But of course the use of commas (generally) is not chiselled in stone, except in the most obvious, agreed upon places. Read any contemporary style/punctuation manual to see what I mean.
Having said that, sometime I just do not have the courage to disregard grammarley's intrusive gate crashing of my creative flow.
