Today, in a fit of absolute rage, I turned off grammar check in my word processors. Spelling check still remains, but I was doing a basic check in Microsoft Word for someone else the other day to show someone how it worked and it kept suggesting wrong suggestions! Seriously! For example, whenever the dude would write, Friday morning, it kept wanting to capitalize morning and put a dash between Friday, and, morning when morning wasn't a noun. There are other little things I spotted too, so either my grammar is getting better or this new machine is dumb enough to think it knows better than me.

I'm keeping my autocorrects on though because I love the magic of typing two letters and having it transform into ten sentences.

But grammar? I've decided I'm leaving that to the editors. More work for them, but honestly, some of these suggestions are outright incorrect. This is especially ironic because I know some form of ML, Machine Learning, is behind these suggestions. Damn. You couldn't even code how fucking American English works, tech bros?
