Yep, it keeps telling me that I mean 'where' when I clearly meant 'wear'. When they try to tell me to shorten or simplify a sentence and use a more banal word instead of one of my favourite archaic or Dickensian descriptions I get truly pissed off.

I'm a lover of longer or archaic words, surely that is up to me as an author?

Grammarly is a useful tool and I'm constantly switching between UK English and USA English, but I don't use it for spellchecking only for some of my wayward commas, and the arguments about the 'Oxford' comma do my head in. Any reader knows what you mean why create an argument over what is a preference not a 'written in stone' piece of irrelevance in a story.
