I recently wrote a piece for our church magazine. As it was for the last
issue before Christmas, I wrote about the birth of Jesus, and mentioned the ass
and the ox in passing. On checking the text with Grammatik, the word “ass” was
highlighted with the following suggestion: “Avoid this offensive term. Consider
revising.”
Are grammar checkers prejudiced against certain species?
