Sometimes we will correct auto carrot a couple of times before we hit send, and it will change it to whatever it wants it to be anyway.

I think on a whole BYC users use some awesome vocabulary. That is why my stats are so high. I get your vocabulary and dynamic writing style credited to me.
I suppose when people use ru and lol I get dinged, but, hey, I think Grammarly needs to lighten up.


Maybe you need to pace yourself, Phil, do less at one time. I hope you feel better soon.

Don't over do it Phil!

Have a great day!

Can't help it.... But yeah I kinda hurt myself.... So I'm awake dealing with the pain...... But alas I'm doing it my way.....i won't let physical Issues stop me from living.

 But I am at 18% for spelling and grammar. 



I discovered that it is our forum names that are destroying my stats.

Every time I quote someone their name counts against me as well as my own.

Any of their mistakes count against me as well as my own.

However, our collective vocabulary and writing style is winging me up there.


 

I know if use better vocabulary myself if my spelling were better.... Part of it though Is my phone's inability to get words right....

I Have this program that does grammar and spelling check and each week it tells me what my percentages are.
I use a better vocabulary that 97% of the grammarly users, I have a more dynamic style than 93% of the grammerly users...
But I am at 18% for spelling and grammar.

But the most annoying thing about this grammar programe is that it does not work on capitalization.

My Dear 3eggs,
Why do you want to compare yourself to anybody else?

I like you for who you are here, not what kind of grammar/spelling you use. I do fail at both of those often enough to embarrass me.
Hope that you have a good night and don't get toooooo much rain.
Scott

No, I don't do the comparing it does.
I hate it. My son put it on the machine because he thought I stunk. ( at least I can spell grammar- he uses and 'e'.)
I think I still do. But It annoys me when it tells me I have the spelling and grammar skills of a rock.

Any program can be turned off and or removed from your 'puter. What version of windows to you have?

The IT kid does all that.
I somehow messed up the reception for netflix a while back and we just did not watch tv for a month.
My neighbor took three minutes and fixed it for us.
I have analog brain.
This morning my husband was pressing buttons on the alarm clock and cursing because as he said,'There are 12 buttons on this thing and all I want to do it turn it off!

"

OH! 10! I have ten! We have gone through a cascade of used computers and finally went out last summer and got a new one.
We are afraid of it.

they need to make a Keurig version windows Keurig. It would catch on.

Then you don't want easy to do instructions?
Like-( You can uninstall Grammarly for Microsoft by going to the Control Panel. Click Programs and Features, then right-click on Grammarly and select Uninstall)
I copied that from Grammarly website.

Thank you!
Grammarly does not make smooth transitions from program to program

I thought it was just my husband grumbling, but It will not work smoothly with the school email account he has to use.
