Asked #languagetool support if there was a way to cancel automatic renewal in 2 yrs. I got a response from some other product support person. When I asked for clarification, they went ahead & cancelled my 2 day old subscription. I give up. I will use their competition.

Trump at Davos: "After the war, which we won, we won it big. Without us, right now, you‘d all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps. After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But we gave it back. But how ungrateful are they now?!"
