Some of us also use Grammarly. And lately, Grammarly has either been bugging out or is staging a quiet revolution. For example, I wrote a piece this morning that mentioned PragerU. I had a five-minute keyboard fight with Grammarly trying to convince it that I meant PragerU, not PrayerU. Now, Dennis Prager is a devout Jew and is certainly in favor of prayer, but PrayerU is not the name of the platform. And then there is the constant battle with Grammarly over what I meant versus what it thought I meant.

There have been more than a few occasions in which I didn’t know what the hell Grammarly was talking about. The thing is either broken or I need to download it again. And Grammarly doesn’t give a rip about style. Or apparently subject matter.

I’m reminded of the Star Trek (classic) episode where Spock is playing 3-d chess with the Enterprise computer, and beating it. He tells McCoy that since the computer was programmed by Spock to play chess, he should not be able to beat it because it would never make a mistake, unlike any of us.

That would require 100% perfect coding, which is impossible: the more complex you design something, the more likely unintended consequences are going to occur. All the computer aids in the world cannot overcome a dumb person trying to sound smart, or a smart person who knows better than the computer what s/he wants to do.

“And let’s be honest; some of you hoped that we would skip all of that nasty dystopia stuff and go straight to the Enterprise-D where we could zip around the universe...”

Those types usually fail to realize that even if humans could escape the planet, we’d just take all of our problems with us, since we are the root cause.

Grammarly? You mean Keystroke Logger Trojan Inc.?

Why pick on Grammerly ... good grief, that’s the best software program I have! I LEARN from it every day.
