Quote: Today, Microsoft announced the new Microsoft Editor the "release/existence/whatever of" the editor was announced, an intelligent missing comma AI-powered writing assistant missing comma that is designed for all of inappropriate phrasing us to become better writers. Whether "whether" can only be used with two options you are a student, professional writer, or just writing some needless word casual chats to your friends, Microsoft says the new service will help you write better papers, craft more thoughtful emails missing comma or incorrect conjunction: use "and" help with your professional posts on sites like LinkedIn.
At launch, the Microsoft Editor will be available in 20 languages and anyone who uses a Microsoft sign-in "the Microsoft Editor will be available in [...] anyone who uses a Microsoft sign-in" does not make sense. Recast.
I can't wait.
Let's just repeat one bit of that:Quote: Microsoft says the new service will help you write better
Is it any surprise to anyone that microsoft is completely wrong, yet again?
Wanna take a guess at what makes people better writers?

Nope. Reading a lot has a miniscule effect on people's writing skills -- usually in the wrong direction, making them worse at it, with inappropriate phrases flying around all over the place, and weird segues.
Analysing what you read helps a bit, but it's still not the best learning tool.

Just what I was thinking. Sad. Once upon a time, Microsoft would just have bought them!
I wonder if Grammarly will/could have a future selling wholesale services, i.e. to providers who would like to provide a 'better writing' service as a value add within their product. There is still room to compete with Microsoft and Google, I think.

Australian Dr Daniel Reardon ended up in hospital after inserting magnets in his nostrils while building a necklace that warns you when you touch your face Elephanting magnets: how do they work?
I guess sometimes astrophysics *is* rocket surgery

You mean you built a necklace; that's not an invention. It's the same like cooking; not every new meal is an "invention".
Putting magnets inside your nose is not even near being practical for the application he describes.
