Some changes are automatic; they may be aware of them on some level, or not. It changes [alowed] - [allowed] just as I type. Does this teach them to do it right, or that it doesn't matter which they choose? An interesting question arises concerning their interpretation of grammar-check's advice. How do they read "Fragment (consider revising)"? Leverett, T. (2008, No...

http://tomsources.blogspot.com/2010/03/green-line-to-commons-still-more.html
Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Green line to the commons: Still more questions. If, on the other hand, it is ruining their grammar, allowing them to get away with not learning things they used to have to learn, how do we respond to this?

We'll wait and see. 1 What percentage of esl/efl students are aware of grammar-check? How many use it regularly? How many respond directly to the green line, as opposed to asking the computer what the reason for the green line is? Do they ever change computers in order to get a better grammar-check?
