Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Word is not a dictonary that's why. Common phrases can be put into Word and Word will say it's right even when they aren't in the truest sense. Word is for common people to use. It doesn't fix everything.

Guest The Real Nosferatu Report post Posted September 22, 2003 I typed in your little sentence of question in my AOL Email spell check, and it corrected it from a period at the end to a Quesiton mark. I WIN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Pirate in White Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Oh, man...I just drew up the funniest mental picture of Johnson reading this thread, opening Microsoft Word, and staring at it with tears in his eyes, before shaking his fist at the heavens and screaming, "Why, damn you? WHYYYYYY?!?" Microsoft Word: the complete authority on everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Then why would Word not say it was a mistake. That's all I'm asking. Word's grammar checker is a joke. Sure, it'll catch some of the more common fuckups, but I've seen many, many cases where it saw a lot of things which simply weren't there. The only worse one I've ever seen was in the late-1990s versions of WordPerfect. I always disable the Grammar-as-you-go "feature" and always ignore Word's grammar suggestions.
