I use LanguageTool and while it helps correct my grammar and spelling, which is great in my day-to-day work, I know that it also doesn't help me be proactive about correcting those mistakes myself. I have a lot of bad muscle memory and generally poor spelling and grammar, and often I rely on LanguageTool to correct what, I feel, are mistakes that are, elementary, at best.
The hard part is, I feel like there are not many resources or tools out there to help an adult like myself improve these aspects of my writing. This is ignorance on my part I'm sure, but also when searching in the past, the results are always geared towards children.
I would like to feel less reliant on LanguageTool and tools like it, and feel more confident about my spelling and writing generally. I'm often second guessing myself, even when I spell something correctly.
Just to illustrate the issue, behind this spoiler is an uncorrected version of this message. Which was hard for me to not use LanguageTool to correct during the writing process.

For typing, I'll often type out the misspelled work multiple times the correct way. The repetition helps establish my finger muscle memory.
This is good advice. The computer nerd in me really wants a way to log these spelling errors into a sheet or something that I can then use as part of a typing game/program to force myself to internalize the spelling. I'm starting to suspect the reason Grammarly and LanguageTool have zero tools to improve your spelling and grammar is because it would kill their business model...
