Pro tip: AI proofreading caught a typo my eyes missed 4 times
I was writing an estimate for a client yesterday and kept re-reading the same sentence about load dimensions. My brain just filled in what I meant to write instead of what was actually there. I pasted it into a free AI grammar tool on a whim and it spotted I wrote 'inches' instead of 'feet' in two places. That would have been a 3 foot difference on their furniture dimensions. Has anyone else had AI save them from a dumb measurement mistake?

Yo @mark731 totally right, that's a bullet dodged! I do the same thing with dimensions especially on CAD drawings where I'll type "mm" instead of "cm" like three times in a row. My brain just autopilots the numbers and skips right over the units. Now I always run anything with measurements through a grammar tool before sending, even if it's just a quick copy-paste. It's saved me from shipping a table that would've been sized for a dollhouse instead of a dining room.
