Fixed. Thank you for holding me to a high standard, truly.


Oh good on you. I'll carry on from that point then.


Ok so while we're here:

- preveriable -> proverbial

- rediculuded -> ridiculed

- bares -> bears

- By unleashing a never-ending stream of fiction, masked a truth -> By unleashing a never-ending stream of fiction, masked as truth


We have AI that supposedly can "compose" articles, but there are no open-source grammar-aware spellcheckers. I love modern technology.

And yes, this is one of the projects on my 1000-item todo list.


There is LanguageTool, but it's a Java monstrosity. You can at least bind it to localhost and it's only slow on startup, but takes 300MB of RAM just sitting there, exposing a REST API.

https://languagetool.org/

It can be integrated with Neovim, with some work.

Have you ever tried Grammarly? I see them advertise on Hulu, not sure if its any good.


They send all your texts to their servers for analysis. I don't find that acceptable from privacy standpoint, even if I'm just writing publicly visible comments.


I really appreciate that. The fact that simple spellcheck catchable errors made it into the final piece is upsetting.

I need to give my editor (aka my wife) more time with the final before pushing live.


if you're looking for spell and style checking I can recommend the hemingwayapp.com - doesn't catch everything but is pretty useful especially for non native English speakers
