This seems interesting, but given that the recommendations in the very first screenshot are >50% “wrong” (“HOW” is not an acronym, “tap” makes no sense in this context), I can only imagine that using this tool would be a huge distraction while writing.
- leephillips 4y agoIn fact, all the recommendations in the screenshot are wrong or useless. This is the example they chose to showcase the awesomeness of this software? Amazing.
- skrebbel 4y agoIt has been demonstrated that you're entirely out of tap if you can't imagine Home Office Weekly this could be useful.
- nmilo 4y agoAvoid second-person pronouns such as "you're".
- ryanklee 4y agoYeah, this is not good at all. Even something arguably well-executed and compatible with "established" style heuristics, like Grammarly, will always be dubious, as they perpetuate the myth of linguistic prescriptivism weaponized by language pedants. All of whom are annoyingly, vocally, interminably incorrect. But this, this is just baldly idiotic.

- aidenn0 4y agoThey have rules loaded that are primarily for writing technical documentation. (I assume the tap/touch is from the Google rules). Most technical documentaition style guides will recommend avoiding first person, but that makes zero sense for e.g. a blog post. Assuming ALL CAPS words are likely to be acronyms is also reasonable in such a context. Vale also has multiple severity levels, so disabling e.g. the "suggestion" (and maybe even "warning") level while writing live would make a lot of sense.
- leephillips 4y ago“Most technical [documentation] style guides will recommend avoiding first person” Not even true. They recommend against first person singular.
