Not uncommon for stem majors to have poor English. My freshman brochure for my engineering college had "enlish 20". Which I found ironic they misspelled the spelling class lmao
I have Grammarly installed on everything I can for a reason lmao.
I'm aware but I don't care too much lol. It's helped me quite a bit and you don't want to see the alternative. I have enough trouble expressing myself, I'll take the help as I can get it.
I run languagetool locally, and it's actually really good, but the browser extension is closed source even though I can point it at a local server, I don't know if it's logging what I type.
But libreoffice has built in support, which is great.
But why is uncommon for stem majors to proofread and use spell check?
You'd think these science-technology types would be all over that.
My late partner studied English as an undergrad and when he applied for his MA his email said "Please find attached my application for the MA in Creative Writning" and it makes me sad he's no longer around for me to relentlessly mock him about it.
