Great read. One thing though: grammarly is shit. Never will I use it, nor will I recommend it.

[Njong Emy](https://hashnode.com/@njong329) No difficulties at all. I just highly dislike them for their marketing BS. Shortly after launch, their ads were everywhere ( on YT, Google, other top-ranking sites ), and they made them be intrusive! You know, the lesser quality product, the more (intrusive) ads.

[Wojtek X](https://hashnode.com/@wojtekxtx) Well, i do think Grammarly is great for the while I've used it. I guess it's an exception to that rule haha.
