  Those are exactly the "grammar checkers" and "pedantic pamphlets" that I referred to (Grammarly is literally a grammar checker). Why should we consider them right and Brontë, Dickens and Melville, and their editors, wrong? That is not purely a rhetorical question. While I do think that Brontë, Dickens and Melville are right and the authors of your links are wrong, I also would like to know why you and many others think it's the other way round.

    Not OP, but I wonder if his/her brain is similar to mine: I get a small kick of dopamine from knowing that I do something "technically right" that others (especially famous people) do "wrong." It's been a long, slow road to recovery.
