Has somebody recently gone around and kicked all the #grammar checkers (that live inside of all of our software) in their heads?

For most of the last few years, grammar checkers have been making reasonable suggestions. I don't always agree with them, but they're reasonable.

Recently, it seems like they've all forgotten how English works. All of this supposed #AI they've added, and all I see is them getting dumber.

It is a strange sight when the grammar checker you use to check your English starts correcting your Sanskrit.

Yeah, sure, I know that I'm not using the correct transliteration but a phonetic rendition, but the phonetic rendition I picked is extremely common, and I'm not about to teach how to read transliterated Sanskrit to my readers.

For people who want grammatical checks for free, I recommend LanguageTool. Its basic usage is free, and it does plenty for me. I use it in English and French. There are a few annoyances, but nothing that breaks the camel's back.

(It found two errors in this post before I fixed them. 😬)
