I find when I write, the free http://hemingwayapp.com http://hemingwayapp.com website is really useful for fixing basic spelling, punctuation and grammar errors

  Thank 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.

    Why not use a local spell checker instead?

      The ones that IDE provide? Those are rather primitive, don't you think?

        They 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.
