When I saw “13,000 regexes” I thought of the adage, “the plural of regex is regrets”.

But here it seems like a good choice to build on a battle-tested library of regrets, and it's clearly working well for them.

The demo looks slicker than the typical Grammarly/MS Word/native macOS grammar and spelling corrections, for those who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl0nb94N98k&feature=emb_imp_...

And the ability to flag false positives, send suggestions back, and see metrics of how the system's being used is just awesome.
