Spellcheck and Grammar check both do the work that an editor would do in the proofreading step. When we were in school that step was done by another student to teach how editing works. I have no problem with those tools. Chatgpt replaces the process of turning ideas and thoughts into written word. That I have an issue with.

I completely understand the reason for feminists not liking to use woman (although a bit childish imo) but I don't understand why you don't just create a whole new word. Spelling it womxn and then pronouncing it woman is just dumb. Spelling of a word itself holds no meaning other than to represent the sound of the spoken word. If you still pronounce the word as woman it's still the same word, just misspelled. I'm not some anti-feminist btw I just think there are more important fights to fight for the movement.

I didn't, it was suggested to me by reddit. I understand why it's done in feminist terms, It just bothers me as someone who believes that the written should emulate the sounds of spoken language. Womxn is unpronounceable.
