How many of you use (Google)-Translate / Grammar Checkers before they publish their posts?

[Praestat_Mori]

What the title says!

I mainly use Grammar-Checkers / Google to eliminate spelling and comma mistakes. What about you?

 

[GuessWhosBack]

Nah I dnon't, I'm sure I make soeme mostakes jrrr and derre

 

[Holu]

I'm a psychopath I post it without reviewing and then read it and edit it and just hope I beat the first person to read it so it makes sense

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Ik, I'm kinda perfectionist (always). This can be a curse ... sometimes.

English is not my native language. That's why I often use Google translate

 

[Agon321]

Well, under my username it says I use google translator, so yes I use translator.

I guess my comments have a lot of mistakes and ambiguities.
But fuck it, any of you could learn my language, so it's all your fault. Pathetic.

You are a truly evil individual. Ain't nobody gonna be able to read what's under your name xD, at least if they are on the white mode(don't judge me I like being flashbanged)

I intentionally set the color to gold so my text would be more visible.


I forgot that not everyone uses the dark version of this site. Fuck me.

Thanks for making me realize my mistake.

U good xD. I think most people use dark, and I do for most things, but I find it makes it harder for me to read at night on my phone

So can we say it's all your fault? I'm glad we agree.
Have a nice day.

It's my fault for being American and having our education teach us that we are always correct and don't need to pay attention to the rest of the world so that we don't know things like free healthcare and actual government social services exist.

But at least you have Role-Play Call of Duty in schools.

Of course I hate all Americans, because I am a proud European and it is my duty. It is nothing personal.
Best regards.

I may be killed for this, but I have to confess I use the light theme.

 

[Ironborn]

I try to keep my writing as "correct" as possible out of habit but at the end of the day if you are able to effectively communicate what you are trying to say what does it matter if it's not grammatically correct or if you use punctuation like a blunderbuss.
If I can read and understand your post then it's all good.

 

[avoid]

Generally not.
I look up the definitions of words I don't understand using Google.

Interestingly, but unrelated to this thread...
I use translators not to understand English, but to remember native [my language] words I forgot for which I know the English word. I also tend to insert English words in my native speech because for some reason, I forget the simplest native words while remembering uncommon English words.

 

[pollux]

English is not may native language so I usually pass a post/comment through GPT-4 just to make sure it makes sense and that there aren't any big errors.

It's a bit annoying since GPT has a tendency to rewrite the whole comment in a more formal tone unless you specifically tell it not to.

 

[Steff1337]

Just the most basic Google Chrome spelling checker.

 

[Eole2.0]

I use Reverso sometimes when I don't understand some words

 

[rozeske]

If I didn't depend on Google as much as I do, people's eyes would bleed considering how much I post :)

 

[Gangrel]

I use it sometimes but not all the time, it depends, i don't know all the words in english.

 

[3/4Dead]

english is my native language so i don't generally make much usage of any translators. for some reason my spellcheck is turned off too so i don't generally use that either. I use it when the big red line pops up underneath something i wrote though, lol. I'm often very tired when online so i dont think about it all that hard and just kinda hope i get my point across

 

[eddy hendryx]

Even though I have a good level of english, I always check before posting because I can't stand typos (Also, Deepl is a pretty good translator).

 

[mikuhappy]

Yes I use google translate cuz english isn't my native language

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Never, though I've made typos from autocorrect before. Does the phone's autocorrect count? For me it mostly just adds an apostrophe when I'm too lazy to type won't or can't or something like that instead of actually being used to spell words I don't know how to spell.

 

[Final_Choice]

I check it before I post or say anything, but I haven't used any grammar checkers at all since high school. If I don't naturally pick it up it's probably something small that doesn't matter too much or I'm just dumb and I'll realize it later when I read it over again.

 

[Forever Sleep]

No, but I probably should...

 

[ad astra]

I just don't care enough to do that
If I make a typo, it's fine

Spoiler: Spoilered just in case it could be triggering to those in recovery here

Not that it'll matter when I'm gone anyway...
