[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also saw the suggestion for less polished and perfect essays (which may strategically lack of Oxford commas and semicolon use common with grammarly) suggestion by some college essay editors on the r/collegeessays subreddit. It’s definitely out there.[/quote] I like to use Oxford commas but I have always been told they are outdated. And that more modern style guides don't require them. So I can't see this being an issue in writing for college apps. Also semicolon use is more of a choice. It's quite possible to write so you don't need to use that punctuation mark. In fact, I think that would be more common. Is the point that Grammarly rewrites to insert semi-colons? Weird thing to worry about.[/quote] Yes. Ime, grammarly reorders your words and adds Oxford commas (always) and a lot of semi-colons. It’s a standard feature/marker of Grammarly.[/quote]
