2. Most research on innovation stops when an innovation is adopted. “Disruptive innovation” (trendy term) assumes that because an innovation disrupts work patterns and traditions, it will shake everyone up into adopting it. No evidence for that whatsoever.

I'm not familiar with those tools - will look them up! Was collaborating on a docx last week and found I had to draft 'my' bits in a separate file then paste them in - I couldn't write directly in the shared doc while colleagues had it open. But I don't feel that way about Version History

I agree such tools have multiple uses, but I'm one of those people who CAN'T write if someone is looking over their shoulder. I think exams are different - the invigilator is standing at a distance, not breaching my privacy in the same way

I had a picnic like that with my cousin who teaches philosophy. He said it perfectly illustrated the fallacy of composition! 🥦🐙🧀

Did the carpet picnic food continue the conference theme?

I'm increasingly concerned by growing divide between rich and poor, and disappointed at how Labour appear to be trying to raise money from the poorest instead of from those with plenty to spare. Was reading your article just now when my Labour MP came round, so I told him how I felt and cited you!

"marmite grammar" 😂

Thankfully the free version of Grammarly does much better, and the LLM tools are improving their ability to explain errors as well as simply identifying them. Of course, none of them are as good at this as me 🤓 (4/4)

'Some overlap' is stretching it a bit. In my proofreading workshops we test the performance of MS Editor against tools like Grammarly, Copilot, Gemini, Claude and the human brain. MS Editor is the worst performer, identifying typically 3-4 errors in a worksheet containing 25-26. (3/-)

"software products such as Microsoft Office...have significantly improved the accessibility features that they offer...These include features such as grammar/spelling checkers which have some overlap with standalone software products historically funded by DSA." (2/-)
