My long forgotten tuition teacher Ms Lucy Almeda was a perfectionist who couldn't tolerate the incorrect use of an 'a' instead of an 'an' or vice versa. She pinched our ears at every wrong use. Now that I installed the Grammarly App on my phone and MacBook last week, it feels a tech version of her has come alive. It is impeccable and concise. From where to place the commas and avoiding unnecessary ellipsis to using double periods and spelling adversaries, Grammarly is watching my every mistake and then sending it in a consolidated weekly email. Even the report cards in school were not so precise.

While I am still soaking it in; they've come up with a new 'tone detector' feature that uses Artificial Intelligence to gauge how an email sounds before you hit Send. The emoji bar at the bottom shows how friendly, optimistic, disapproving, sad, forceful the text is—without being preachy (thank you). You can contribute by letting it know whether the analysis was correct or not.
