Re: Typely, free proofreading software
#2I can sort of buy that proper grammar-checking requires "human-level intelligence", but how is it possible to detect illogic, for instance, without the same? Typely would have to understand an argument's structure and actual meaning to prove logical soundness. Doesn't that require human-level intelligence, or at least as much as with a grammar-checking task?

Typely is actually a huge list of regexes carefully targeted at exact bits. We don't do any text analysis beyond that and we try to stay away from being "too clever" which is a fine line that we don't want to cross.

Oh no, it was not. I just uploaded that page last night. Good catch, thank you.

#8I tried it out on a few comments from the long google memo articles, and the response was good. Specially sentiment, and reading difficulty level.
One thing that was annoying was marking the word "very" as a weasel word -- in the instances it seemed correctly used. "Controversial" vs "very controversial".
Also, modern convention of using straight quotes ("") has become the norm. Marking these for change to curly quotes is just fighting against a change that's already occurred in written english -- alteast for phrases and not spoken sentences.
Good work! I'd especially like for this to be an offline-checker that the browser provides for all textboxes (the way spellcheck is today provided).

It's a tool that analyzes your text against a huge list of common mistakes writers usually do. The typos are fixed and pushed, CI is baking them now.
