  • Thanks, this is good advice. I’m a native speaker, but, I struggled all through grade school with undiagnosed ADHD. I never fully completed any form of college education. ADHD made it difficult to read (and still does to some extent), and as a result, I stopped all serious forms of reading for a long time. It’s only this year that I’ve started taking reading more seriously.

    I’m realizing now that there is some information provided via LanguageTool when it highlights a correction that explains the rules behind its suggested change. To give you an idea, I often misuse then and than, but they have information about that on their site: https://languagetool.org/insights/post/word-choice-than-vs-then/ which appears as a small menu icon in the interface.

    I’m also starting to make a more serious effort to actually write, not just comments on the internet, but actual writing (mostly submitted letters of comment to our local municipality’s council.). Which should give me more opportunities to do my own self editing.

    Thanks for your input!
