I used Grammarly to sound less like a press release

My standard test is a messy stack of PDFs and one real question.

Its tone tips push corporate-speak. The fix is to use it for errors, then undo its personality edits.

Accept the red lines for typos, reject every 'consider rephrasing for clarity' that adds words.

Turn off the tone suggestions; they taught me to write 'leverage' and I banned that word.

Run it last, after your own edit, so it catches what fatigue missed.

The detail is the result was a thing I actually use, not a screenshot I forget.
