I think technology somedays just doesn't like me. This week was one of them. Getting Grammarly to work on my computer was a fight. We clearly have a love-hate relationship with each other. Sometimes Grammarly wants to work nicely for me on my word doc and then other it's like no. I see the correction, and I agree with the correction, but Grammarly is like yeah no. Yeah, you hit agree but I'm not going to fix it just stay on your screen till you do it yourself. When it's being nice, I can just click on the correction or hit dismiss and it'll move on. Now it's still me I need to upgrade to a premium version because I have sentence structures that are incompletes or too wordy. Then I go do I really? There isn't an option when you're setting up Grammarly for what type of writing you're going for. This is also creative writing so sentence structure can kind of go out of the window to a certain level since I'm telling a story. Right now Grammarly has beta software for google Docs so that's a different fight I'm having with it since they are still working bugs out of that.

Does it accurately correct inputs?

@florelway Yes, it looks at everything you write. I do a good job correcting but I'm not a grammar person so I wouldn't be able to tell you how accurate it is. Especially when it comes to writing books you allowed to break English teachers are taught to teach you to make it sound certain why when in fact writing is a subdirectory it doesn't have to be perfect or uninformed or fit a certain way. It just needs to flow, have very little errors and complete thoughts.

I never said I was thinking of getting the premium I said its a love-hate relationship and it wants me to get it but I have no need for that level of checking as an author. I'm a creative writer so things sometimes have to be out of context or made up.
