Grammar app · 10:35pm May 9th, 2019
I've downloaded a browser app from Grammarly.
To be honest I've mixed feelings about it. It gives a choice between American, UK, Australia, and Canadian English. Right off hand, I'd say my style is closer to International English thanks to the shareware word processor I'm using. Most of my spelling is American, so I figured I'd go with American. Suddenly it doesn't know what a Prefect is. It keeps insisting I change 'Prefect' to 'perfect'. 
Overall it looks like it can be a good tool for that final edit... when it's not crashing, and/or being temperamental. It doesn't like ['ve] insisting I use 'have' every time, or ['d] insisting I use 'had' and doesn't seem to like the Oxford comma. Sometimes. Downright hates the Shatner comma. Yes, I tend, to use, a lot, of commas. I use them more like musical notation. The downside is it causes the app to have fits.👾 The plus side is that the app is really good at highlighting wrong words. I had McGonagall spelled wrong all over the place and hadn't noticed. >.< Piece versus peace, then versus than, strait versus straight, and a variety of other words. When it's not crashing it's a good tool. I'm finding it can't seem to handle files over five thousand words very well. The longer the file the more likely the app will crash, and seems to prefer a very formal writing style.
Now that I've gotten all that out of the way, yes, I spent the better part of the week editing the PIH posts that are already up. So unless I have a wave of inspiration and manic energy hit me, there probably isn't going to be an update this week. I dread the idea of going back through my older stuff.

I'm finding that a lot of my issues are really basic stuff, like using a full stop where it should be a comma, and in some cases too many commas. Overall I'm not seeing huge problems. Heaven knows I've seen far worse than my feeble attempts at writing on this site.

Hopefully, they still are.
