RE: The Old Dog Gets: A Visit From The Grammar Nazi!

I think that your view is probably in the majority and that the business model will fail. Also the choice of name could be considered as offensive to many. @grammarfriend or @grammarhelper would be better in my opinion.

My mother tongue is English and I have a few degrees but I make a lot of mistakes. If English is your second language you are truly amazing.

An opt in our out could be a good idea. As far as I know we can use the ignore button and we'll never see this bot's comments again.

Thanks for your detailed response.

Can't agree more! A friendly name gives a lot of positive vibes to start with. To me, the first impression was that this bot was created out of someone's strong irritation towards minor grammatical oversights.

Maybe all will be revealed in due time!

This is getting serious.
I can imagine the embarrassment it has caused people already forgetting that most writers try to make their post in English, not because there are fluent but to pass their message to the majority who happen to understand only English.
I just wish people can guard their heart against this. I believe the bot was meant to help but it kindof embarrassing.
Thanks for sharing @kus-knee
