    Probably one of the few useful bots ever added to Reddit.

    We didn’t need a million and one spelling, grammar and whatever other stupid bots the place got infected with. Hopefully Lemmy doesn’t end up with them either.

        I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.

        The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”

        I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.

      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 always thought it’s funny to see such a spelling bot on linguistics themed subs where everyone was like “fck you descriptivist” and they were downvoted into oblivion
