I found the comment slightly witty, not insulting. I mean, you have to be able to take (or get) a joke!

I know plenty of people for whom the tool is really useful -- my foreign-born wife for example. But were she to limit her native expression with the same kind of "simplifying" that the tool offers, I am sure she would not be perceived as having any kind of personality at all.

For me, when I write -- and I like to write -- I choose to break convention often. The tool frustrates me and wastes my time. Sure there is an audience for this, but I don't want to sound like everybody else. That's MY attitude.

...and reading the comments does make it sound like a key-logger ... so no, I can't say I trust the extension.
