It has also shown me where WordPress has added extra spaces. I certainly don&#8217;t remember adding them myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My only criticism is that it sometimes only gives you the option to &#8220;ignore&#8221; and not to &#8220;add to dictionary&#8221;. This matters as &#8220;ignore&#8221;s have to be renewed whenever you revise the post. It&#8217;s free though, and it&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, minor grammatical tweaks have now just appeared throughout the site. Future posts will come pre-<strong><em>Grammarly<\/em><\/strong>-ised. Is that a word? No doubt <strong><em>Grammarly <\/em><\/strong>will soon tell me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re running a conlang blog, I&#8217;d recommend adding <strong><em>Grammarly <\/em><\/strong>to it. You can get the free version from <strong><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">grammarly<\/a><\/em><\/strong><strong><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grammarly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A secret helper for the site&#8217;s author.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[191],"class_list":["post-1259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-site-news","tag-software","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1259"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2873,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1259\/revisions\/2873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
