Since it is an algorithm it isn't always correct. However, if you write a lot (and I do) it is a nice little add-on to have to check your work. There is a free option (which is fine) and a paid-for option (hint, buy it on Black Friday) that gives more in-depth criticism (YAY!) of your writing. Edited May 30, 2019 by Buffalo_Gal 1 2

LOL But in all seriousness, people care about their grammar on this mb enough to use that? Not judging but if you cared that much, wouldnt you just, ya know, learn proper grammar?? No, I do not care enough about the writing on this message board to buy it. I, however, am basically a FT editor, PT writer (while ***** retired!!), and it is simply a tool.

Nanker Posted May 30, 2019 Author Posted May 30, 2019 I think MS Word used to be able to check your work, analyze it and give it a grade level. Maybe it was WriteNow.
Deranged Rhino Posted May 30, 2019 Posted May 30, 2019 Okay, that makes sense. I didn't realize it had been happening to some of my posts -- nor was I aware I had that program (thanks to my ladyfriend I'm sure).

That implies making a living at it. I barely make money for dog chow on my writing, and the editing, while more lucrative, doesn't have me rolling in the dough. I am barely literate in English. That is why I use it. 2

You're saying the catalyst for the investigation into Trump began after he was elected? What about Crossfire Hurricane? What about the Counterintelligence investigation? Where those formed using some sort of precognition that Trump would fire Comey months later? You're wildly underinformed on this matter. Wildly. It's factually incorrect to say that Trump firing Comey, going on Lester Holt and saying the firing of Comey was Russia related, and then the Special Counsel being hired just a few days later aren't directly connected? Seriously??? Call everything else a reason for the Mueller appointment because, sure, it contributed. But I honestly can't believe you guys over here are so dug in that you can't even acknowledge that what transpired over those few days surrounding the Comey firing along with the firing itself isn't the straw that broke the camel's back. Amazing.

But I honestly can't believe you guys over here are so dug in that you can't even acknowledge that what transpired over those few days surrounding the Comey firing along with the firing itself isn't the straw that broke the camel's back. Amazing. Right after being fired - Comey leaked his notes through his professor friend. Knowing what we know now, Comey's interactions with the President and others have not aged well at all. Comey is asked by the President about leaks, McCabe, Flynn, and others and he's clearly not honest or forthcoming with the President especially with Comey knowing very well about the Page FISA and FBI surveillance, the entire Dossier and its origins, various leaks originating from the FBI and several other circumstances surrounding the Russian hoax. Comey should realize now in hindsight that Trump in the moment of their meetings knew some things, asked for answers and knew Comey was bullshitting him. Comey defends McCabe who was running the Trump campaign surveillance, leaked and handled the Dossier. Trump and Reince were testing Comey. Comey has stated that he leaked his notes in part to increase the chances that a special counsel be appointed. Sessions caved under the pressure. It (the Mueller probe) should have never happened. We know that now as it didn't produce conspiracy charges for Flynn, Page and others. Comey along with others bought themselves 2 years of cover. That had to be Comey's goal, to protect his cronies.
