  One of the most annoying companies that ad spams like crazy in 2020/2021. i literally had to beg them to stop sending ads my way.

  Now they are running out of money and have to cut staff. How ironic!

  As I read it I cringed expecting him to call their employees “grammarians.” But it was even worse: “grammarlians.”

  I think this is one of the casualties of ChatGPT and LLMs. They can do grammar and a whole lot of other things all for about the same priced subscription as Grammarly.

  Weird, they’ve been hiring all January.
