Thanks for the comment. I am a sucker for spelling indeed. I usually spend about 1h after publishing each post, to fix typos (I never notice them until it's published, no matter how hard I try).
- blowski 7y agoI find when I write, the free http://hemingwayapp.com http://hemingwayapp.com website is really useful for fixing basic spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.
- amihaiemil 7y agoThank you. I know about these apps, especially Grammarly. I just don't like the idea that all I write goes to a server somewhere :) I also noticed Grammarly sticking its nose in places it shouldn't have. Like private repos on Github.
- Sean1708 7y agoWhy not use a local spell checker instead?
- amihaiemil 7y agoThe ones that IDE provide? Those are rather primitive, don't you think?
- Sean1708 7y agoThey would still catch all the incorrect spellings, they just wouldn't catch the incorrect grammar. The grammar of the post is fine, though, so that wouldn't matter too much. You could even just copy and paste it into a word processor, if you also want to catch grammar issues.
- cerberusss 7y agoWell, it should never get in the way of a good blog post! Kudos to you.
