In a staff survey of online apps we used for work, I could only list Trello (essential for me) and Grammarly (meh). Wasn't sure whether to list PerfectIt (works offline), ToggleTrack (for me as a freelancer), and Oxford Dictionaries. What online apps are important for you? #Edibuddies#Freelancer

My burning question: Will there be an update to the CMOS PerfectIt style sheet? If so, when might it be available? Answer: Yes! We'll get that with PerfectIt 6. #ACESVCON24

Anyone else just get this Talk Like a Pirate Day email from PerfectIt? It's one of the most cursed marketing emails I've seen in a long time (2000s pirate-speak + 2024 AI hype). I hate it so much and I apologize for showing it to you.

PerfectIt saves me from my own oversights multiple times a day, but it just said I should change La Marseillaise to La Marseillaize for US spelling reasons 😒
