A high school level English class?

  I mean, this is just an unnecessarily mean comment. Not everyone has the luxury of going to high school in an English speaking country. Not everyone is strong in English but still need to write properly. Thanks though.

    If you watch Grammarly's advertising, the core market seems to not be English language learners but college graduates that are having a hard time deciding between the usage of "were" and "we're". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-Y56SfkS0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-Y56SfkS0 Snark aside, there are plenty of English grammar resources that can be consumed in book form or online without attending an American high school or compromising your privacy. A solid one is the Chicago Manual of Style: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html

      This isn't the type of stuff Grammarly helped me with. Passive voice misuse is still extremely difficult for me to catch. Even after learning about it multiple times.
