Is it grammatically ok to say "reach me out"? Grammarly and ChatGPT say it's not.

Uh, kinda reminds us of that old adage about never ending a sentence with a preposition. (I used to teach English Grammar and writing at a small community college before discovering substitute teaching pays better.)

The three most unwelcome guests at any party: A narc, a life insurance salesman and an English teacher.

All the rules aside, the whole point of grammar is communication. Someone else beat me to it with the much clearer "reach out to me."

Younger generations find all sort of ways to rape the English language. It still comes down to communication and appearing like you have an education.

And dat ain't no lie.

It does not even make sense!

The nearest I can think of is "reach out to me", to mean extend a metaphorical helping hand, or moral support.

"Reach out to me" is far more grammatically correct than "reach me out."
