Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

The grammar bots were so annoying! I love good grammar as much as anyone, but really, what help are we actually adding to the world with the they're/their/there bots, the your/you're bots, the payed/paid bots, etc. I really can't imagine those changed anyone's behavior or spelling.
I'm not completely against those, they sometimes made me edit a comment, and can be educational to both native speakers and those learning the language.
However, it's not nice to force them upon people, it should be each user's choice whether they want those tips or not, so I'd say: maybe, but not for Beehaw (unless maybe for some "learn-[some_language]" community).
