godthedog Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 no, having better grammar would miss the whole point of the joke.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted September 21, 2003 Report Posted September 21, 2003 Make joke bad? That's unpossible!
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted September 22, 2003 Report 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 Posted September 22, 2003 Report 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!
Guest The Pirate in White Posted September 22, 2003 Report 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.
Dr. Tom Posted September 22, 2003 Report 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.
Guest The Old Me Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Microsoft Word- the ultimate in grammar authority.
