Basic spell check doesn’t alert you to grammar, syntax or word usage. For example, I might write about the “dual” between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Spell check will probably miss that because, while the word is spelled correctly, it is used improperly. I see this often and am left wondering, “Didn’t they proofread their post?”

  Perfect example! I think about those types of errors all of the time. They probably thought running it through spell/grammar checker was enough. 🙄🤓
