I signed up for Grammarly two weeks ago. It's an ap that checks your grammar and spelling.

They just sent me an unsolicited report on my writing.

- In the last two weeks, I have written 349,105 words which is 99% more than other users.

- I was more accurate than 95% of their users, with only 947 alerts.

- I used 5,478 unique words, which is 99% more than their other users.

I'm just going to say, and I think I may be fucking overdoing it.

Is it a free app?

If so it's probably just sending you those 'statistics' to make you feel good about yourself so you'll continue using it and viewing the adds it makes money off.

No I pay for it. No ads, even for the free version. Tgey just lock features behind the paywall. Its likely a CIA honeypot to scrape documents. Im not joking.

Overdoing it? Depends what you're writing.

Having a high accuracy rate according to grammarly is a little worrying, though.

I think Shakespeare and Aesop Rock are at 20k unique words, so you're doing well there. I am a little worried that it's better than 99% of other grammarly uses, though.

All business writing sorry to say. I will work on my unique word count. I have a bunch of 5 dollar words burning a hole in my pocket.

I probably know more unique words in English than I do in Dutch.
