#22Good start. But still has bugs i guess.
I tried with the following phrase -- "This should can't logic be done me." --
No errors.

#24Why wouldn't you want an LLM for a language learning tool? Language is one of things I would trust an LLM completely on. Have you ever seen ChatGPT make an English mistake?

uh. yes? it's far from uncommon, and sometimes it's ludicrously wrong. Grammarly has been getting quite a lot of meme-content lately showing stuff like that.
it is of course mostly very good at it, but it's very far from "trustworthy", and it tends to mirror mistakes you make.

#27I wish it had keyboard shortcuts. As a Vim user, in Chrome it's tedious to click on every suggestion given by the app. Also, maybe add a "delay" so it doesn't think the currently-being-typed word is a mistake (let me finish typing first!).
Otherwise, it's great work. There should be an option to import/export the correction rules though.

#28IMO not using LLMs is a big plus in my book. Grammarly has been going downhill since they've been larding it with "AI features," it has become remarkably inconsistent. It will tell me to remove a comma one hour, and then tell me to add it back the next.
So is there a similar tool but based on an LLM? Not that I think LLM is always better, but it would be interesting to compare these two approaches.
Grammarly came out before the LLMs. I'm not sure what approach it took, but they're likely feeling a squeeze as LLMs can tell you how to rewrite a sentence to remove passive voice and all that. I doubt the LLMs are as consistent (some comments below show some big issues), but they're free (for now).

Thank you. In general my grammarly and gboard predictions have become so, so bad over the last year.

Grammarly is all in on AI and recently started recommended splitting "wasn't" and added the contraction to the word it modified. Example: "truly wasn't" becomes "was trulyn't"
