The plugin is very useful. After errors in operation, a contact with author it was fastly and solved my doubts, following the spirit of FOSS. Long life to Proofreading!

Please No Gutenburg in the new update, at least do it for me. I can’t post anything, I can’t repair anything. I don’t even know how to keep going on. Please make it stop. I can’t even know how to post on my own website. The issue is I don’t know how to use Gutenburg and it’s not user understandable.
