Grammarly Has A Habit Of Misspelling Words.

It Isn’t Always Helpful For Checking Your Work.

I use Grammarly a lot, usually to run a spell check on my work. I don’t have many issues with it, however, it often misspells a word or tries to change a sentence that has been written correctly.

I was trying to write a paragraph for a book I’m finishing yesterday, and one of the sentences I wrote was,

“The weather outside was terrible.”

Grammarly wasn’t happy with this, it kept underlining it and suggesting I write it this way,

“The weather outside was terribly”

I don’t know why it does that. It only seems to happen when I write in word

It doesn’t happen much when I write online. However, it will suggest words if it doesn’t like a certain word that I have used.

If I had written,

“The weather was terribly cold outside,”

I could have understood it.

Another issue I noticed is its use of me and myself.

I often write things like

“It’s ok to buy things for myself”

I was always taught at school that I could write that way, but Grammarly will underline it, and change it
