I have disabled any auto-correct, suggest, or any so-called aid in any app that I use. I found most often they are a hindrance not a help. For example suggesting wont instead of won't or its when 99.9% of the time I wanted it's.
My spelling has become terrible and all my life I have been great at spelling. My grammar is OK I thought it was great until I went back to college and felt like I was illiterate.
In college I did try Grammarly mainly for its plagiarism tool. But Grammarly like a virus it's very difficult to uninstall. I caught many mistakes in grammar like "for free" and "off of". And Grammarly plan was supposed to be monthly $20/month then it jumped to $300 US dollars one year-plan automatically charged to my credit card. I didn't notice and after a month they said it was impossible to refund my money. Pure greed, scam, spammy junk.
I also realize I'm tempting Skitt's Law just by mentioning all this.
