In my experience it’s just not that good at catching real mistakes. Yeah, it’s good at catching grammar and punctuation mistakes, but so is Word and Google Docs. This part is just a personal gripe, but I also feel like it takes the human part out of peer revision. I believe that peer revision (even just a family member or friend) helps facilitate true writing growth while deepening relationships. There’s nothing actually wrong with Grammarly, I just don’t like it

Just to clarify, I love when people use tools and I acknowledge how helpful Grammarly can be; it’s just not my cup of tea
