I’ve always subscribed to Grammarly because it seemed like the only serious way to catch grammar and spelling mistakes across everything I wrote. Emails, blog posts, and comments will inevitably get run through Grammarly’s editor at least once before hitting send. However, that came at a steady monthly cost and a nagging privacy trade-off. I decided I’ll never use Grammarly again after realizing almost everything I typed ended up traveling off-device to remote servers. More than being just a privacy nightmare, it means someone, somewhere, has a copy of your drafts.
