- Lutger 3y agoIt doesn't "scold" you, it merely mentions a potential bias inherent in some words, if and only if you turn it on. It is a tool. The spelling checker also doesn't "scold" you, it just helps you improve your document. You are free not to use it. People are so sensitive these days.
- Cornbilly 3y agoThat’s a neat feature. Sometimes I struggle with using professional language (hard to shake my rural blue-collar background) and this would help me a lot.
