Maybe Grammarly should have stolen other styles to defend the rip-off of big-name writers’ voices, because his own explanations didn’t make any sense, and completely failed to defend the indefensible.

Recently, I wrote about how Superhuman, the company that owns Grammarly, killed off an unethical feature in its popular grammar checking tool. The feature, known as “expert review,” not only taught people how to rip off well-known writers, both alive and dead, but also made it seem like the writers were involved in the process.
The saga is far from over, now, because Grammarly is facing a class action lawsuit, spearheaded by investigative journalist Julia Angwin. Angwin notes that even though the company disabled the feature, it doesn’t make up for the eight months it was in operation.
