Ask HN: Do You Trust Grammarly?

Maybe for you, I am dyslexic and my writing sucks. Even in my mother tongue, let alone English. If I need to give a good impression, I rely heavily on Grammarly because it can reformulate sentences in a way I never could.

Yet for sure, I do not use it for anything sensitive or for work purposes. I do not really trust them.

Can you not use a desktop software to correct your spellings, fix your grammar and reformulate sentences? I think even something like Microsoft Word is going to be a good bargain for this. If you want a free tooling Emacs with some plugins can be great. A quick search gave me https://simpleit.rocks/lisp/emacs/writing-in-emacs-checking-... Exploring this space may give more results for free tooling that runs your desktop and sends your data to noone.

Pretty sure the grammar / spelling correct is still miles away from grammarly (at least last time I tried it)

Grammarly is easier to use than Emacs.
