I am working with a student who is currently using Grammarly for all spelling and grammar check needs due to its ability to highlight the errors rather than underline them. The student has conditions that don't play well with the traditional underline indicator
most checks use, and the squiggle of the spelling error indicator in Word specifically exacerbates the conditions. </div>

The issue is that the student majors in English and our English department has applied a sort of unofficial ban on any use of Grammarly as they deem it to be an AI tool. I already intend to connect with the English chair to discuss their policy related to Grammarly
but am wondering if folks are aware of any other tools that would allow a user to change how errors are indicated. </div>
