I use Grammarly for all my online writing, to check grammar, spelling, usage, punctuation and to find typos. I got a notification that my Grammarly annual plan expires in a month, and I started thinking about whether to renew it, and whether to ask my manager if I can expense it.

Then I reviewed the free plan, which I think turns out to have everything I use and turns off the annoying bits.

I value Grammarly’s suggestions to tighten up language, but I’m told that the free plan offers that too. And if that doesn’t work, I bet ChatGPT will do the job.

Another thing I rely on Grammarly for: Commas. I have only a vague idea of how to use commas.
