This for me will so be helpful as I assume it will support foreign languages as well where sentence structure can be difficult. I also type fast and don't review what I write always.

Will apply to Office 365 that is being renamed to Microsoft 365. There will also be a Chrome/Edge extension so it will apply to mybb.

Mybb grammar nazis be gone

I use Grammarly but usually ignore it as it doesn't like the way I write. But it can be helpful when doing business stuff. I will happily give this a try.

I used the trial of Grammarly once but I am not willing to pay the subscription costs. Sentence structure and grammar is something so simple so I am so happy that Microsoft finally decided to wake up.

Oh I don't have the paid one either. I just need help with my spelling.

Same. Tried it out to see what everyone was talking about, but found the grammar checking quite rigid, I can't imagine ever writing something with grammarly as an aid. For spelling its fine.

It doesn't like my dashes - and it doesn't like the space before my ?

I installed it and it sucks pretty bad at the moment and just does spelling for me and some really very basic grammar like is/are. It doesn't do the advanced stuff that grammarly does yet.

What has been the experience with this so far?
I like grammarly's spellchecker and grammar, but sometimes it gives me premium issues, which I am not going to pay the nearly R3000 subscription, or R600 per month.

@skimread, how has it improved since launch on the advanced stuff?

Just use https://languagetool.org/ which is open source.

Thanks for that @backstreetboy. I see it integrates into browsers and MS Word, but I don't see Outlook.
Do you have it setup in MS Outlook?

No I only use it in the browser. Seems they're still working on better integration http://help.languagetool.com/en/sup...934219-do-you-offer-an-outlook-add-on-plugin-
