  As a non-techie please explain simply how I turn the proofreader off – this page https://en.support.wordpress.com/proofreading/ – does NOT explain how you turn it off!

  Thanks

  Hello Roger,

  I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.

  To turn off proofreading, log in to your WordPress dashboard, and proceed to Users >Your Profile, and un-check all checked boxes in the proofreading section. The issue will be resolved immediately.

  Thanks for the speedy reply Hari – it was a great help.

  On my wordpress.com site it turned out to be

  Click on Users
  Click on My Public Profile – two lines down look for ‘Were you looking for your API Key and other Personal Settings?’
  Click on ‘API Key and other Personal Settings’ and there you can untick all the boxes of the proofreader.

  But I wouldn’t have found it without your help!

  Cheers

  Roger
