Discussion Grammarly "Potentially Sensitive Language"

Old? Ha! Wait until you live through at least 5 centuries, then you can be offended by being called old. Question is, whose knowledgeable enough to know you've been living for at least 500 years.

 

Pfft u call that grimdark, come back when the people closes to being good guys area a group of facist, xenophobic, violent, authoritarian, Puritan,genocidal crusaders.that uses trillion of humans as Canon fodder and no one especially children are safe and that's just Tuesday.

 

Only snowflakes get offended by snowflakes.

 

Well, most of that is tuesday as well in my setting... not everything is true for every faction, sure, but xenophobic, authoritarian, genocidal and cursaders is kinda on point for all of the species and races. Just that the elves considering the humans slightly advanced pests is not even racism because they are different species alltogether. Humans are part of the humanoid tribe, elves and beast-kin of the singular fey tribe.

 

I highly suggest you don't rely on grammarly. Their software is primarily composed of grammar rule checking and if you aren't premium. Then your going to have at least 30+ mistakes by punctuation alone. If you are a writing a story then you'll be saying a lot of errors.

 

When I saw the title I thought: “for sure someone complaining about the grammarly ad on YouTube every couple of minutes”

But once again, I’m so wrong lol

 

Just use TeX and proofread properly. Heck, even MS Word has a semi decent spelling and grammar checker.

 

I am all for TeX, but just for writers? And if you are not publishing it as a book, but on the web? That's masochism!

 

Im using it for an actual novel. So I really dont mind xd

 

if you are printing it, there is really nothing better. But spellchecks in TeX tools sucks

 

...I don't see any problem here

 

we found one!

 

Nice try, but I'm pretty certain aliens from outer space take exception to this...

Umm...like humans and monkeys, no?

 

That's why you proofread it with at least one secondary software. Just copy and paste an entire chapter into word, check stuff, paste it back. Make sure formatting didnt get raped harder than a princess in MGA and done.

 

errrr..... you mean paste the rendered output of TeX, right? Editing the output of TeX kinda defeats the purpose of the tool... Or if you are editing raw, I don't know why out would need to worry about the formatting
There are many tools that check your spelling, etc. But most of them suck to various degrees and many are geared towards some specific features. Basically, learning the language if you wanna write grammatically correct is the only way to truly have text without errors

 

Yeah. The software is to fix the few times you messed up. Not to complete your incomplete work. And yeah, paste the ouput. Or, if you are using a TeX editor, you can do it with the input.

 

Pretty sure it means "temporal advanced lifeform", not "temporal advanced lifeform"

 

Uncle would've been better huh.

 

Dimension hopping aliens huh? Jeez...that makes us time-limited homosapiens even more primitive...
