How did Grammarly put together the results above?
Grammarly reviewed 10,000 eHarmony male/female matches generated by eHarmony’s matching algorithm. Fifty percent of the matches advanced to two-way communication, while the other 50 percent failed to advance. Each male and female in a match wrote long-form answers to questions on their dating profile. These writing samples were analyzed by Grammarly’s automated proofreader for accuracy in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

I do tend to forgive grammar mistakes on social media (FB, Twitter, texts) more than emails. I find autocorrect will change words on me unexpectedly.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Denise, sometimes autocorrection makes me seem foolish or even illiterate :-(
