(no title)

failedartifact | 4 years ago

The title makes it sound like its fixing 100s of Grammarly errors, as if Grammarly wasn't providing correct english responses.

But as i understand, its enabling a 'I'm Feeling Lucky' kinda blanket fix on a document.

Consider revising title.

"Apply" sounds like a more correct word, then: "I wrote a script to automatically apply 100s of Grammarly corrections"

Thank you mcv. I changed the title in my Github. Couldn't do here. Anyway, thanks. And nice username.

Fixed above. Er, applied above. Thanks.

Yup, I suggested another title because I first interpreted it as "correct all of the Grammarly autocorrupts".

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I'm corrected by helpful members of this community to do better.

I was initially excited by that because I’ve had the misfortune of being given documents where someone basically did an “apply all” with Grammarly, which introduced a large number of significant errors. The author wasn’t a native speaker and assumed they hadn’t learned all of the rules correctly and made the mistake of trusting the tool.

It must have added unexpected work on your shoulders. Errors are definitely much better than wrong fixes. Good luck with your future work.

In a supreme twist of irony, he should write a script to correct this.

I definitely could have done a better job. Thank you for your suggestion. I will attempt a clearer title from now onwards. I couldn't edit my HN post but I have edited the Github title. Thank you again!
