I’m not a fan of Grammarly. Ever since it absolutely insisted that I meant “broken leg" when I was describing a forest floor littered with fallen logs and branches, the program has been on my shit list. It’s way too bossy and it hates repeated words, even if they’re contextually necessary. It's probably going to scold me for using the word "Grammarly" so many times. Worst of all, I’ve always been comma-happy, but Grammarly’s suggestions are a little much even for me.
