Spoilers doing weird stuff

[Guest]

Idk why but the spoilers were doing this weird stuff.

 

I created a spoiler and typed text in but I guess it did this weird thing. After I pressed edit my text cursor would go into spoiler which was unusual.

I had this issue a while ago. Disable or uninstall Grammarly.

Grammarly is supposed to be disabled in the forum editor for exactly this reason. You've not overridden that or anything have you?

Idk, I was still using grammerly in the text editor from the “create new thread” 

i was also using Firefox so maybe that has something to do with it.

You guys use grammarly ? I always take such software as scam. It won't make you error proof. I am also concerned about the idea of using grammarly for professional purposes as  it may pose not only data privacy risks but also make you less focused on errors in your writing.  All that taking into account that english is not my main language. 
What are your thoughts ?

Really depends on your perspective.

I have a background where my best subjects in school, my strengths, include writing, reading comprehension, and English in general. They were the classes that I was able to breeze through with very little to no studying.
Math on the other hand, well, I don't get along well with math at all. I spent, almost literally, all of my free time during my high school and college years in after school tutoring (30-40 hours a week) just to get through it. Some don't understand why I use a calculator as a crutch for something they find simple. I find writing to be simple, but I understand that not everyone else does. I have family members who really, really struggle with writing.

I see tools like Grammarly to be the functional equivalent of a calculator; a tool to be used, but not solely relied upon. Same with the now-ubiquitous spellcheck.

• Write your segment.
• Overview it with spellcheck (or grammarly, or anything else) for simple errors. 
• Re-read through your works and correct any additional errors you come across. 
• Read through it one more time (again after any changes are made) to check for any unnecessary or incorrect changes from the past steps.

That's the process that I used through school, I still use it (granted, much less often) when addressing professional, or documents that need to be accurate.

 

I don't know what Grammarly's data collection, security, or privacy policies look like as I've never considered using it, so I can't comment on that aspect.

I believe I’m already a very strong writer with English syntax. I just hope it to find the little bit I don’t already know. I pay attention to what it says so that I know what to do in the future. The plug in has an optional subscription I believe. 

 

As for the privacy, I never considered it.
