Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.
We didnât need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesnât end up with them either.
Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.
Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!
I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.
I didnât mind the fact that it was there, I was always just annoyed at how useless the memory hints were. Like yeah, of course I could spell âneitherâ if I just remember the e comes before the i⊠thatâs the problem.
Itâs like saying âif you want to be rich just get more moneyâ or âNASCAR is easy cuz itâs all left turnsâ
I always thought itâs funny to see such a spelling bot on linguistics themed subs where everyone was like âfck you descriptivistâ and they were downvoted into oblivion
I feel like I havenât seen a single person use âcould ofâ or âwould ofâ here.
The defense on Reddit was always âNOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGEâ
I donât have the largest sample size, but Iâve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isnât English.
