"Question to anyone who speaks English !"

Yesterday was my English exam, and there was a question that I disagreed on with all the English teachers in the school, so in order to know the exact correct answer, the best thing to do is to ask British people (I am Egyptian by the way). This is the question:

Begin the following phrase with the word "Books", so that it would give the same meaning:
-People still read books.

My answer: Books are still being read by people.
The teachers' answer: Books are still read by people.

There are only 2 students in the school that wrote my answer: Me and my friend, and we're both the best English students in the school. And I mean the BEST, there is no one else in the school that can be compared to us. While on the other hand, all 3 English teachers in the school say that the correct answer is the other one, so ?

MS Word is american. You've all seen some of the rubbish 'options' to improve your grammar on there.

Why ? The word suicide exists for a purpose, doesn't it ?

Yes, it is obviously correct homosh.

That is why all us English speakers just made a joke about it.

So I don't seem ignorant, just ask us how many languages we speak

Now I'm thinking that in your "hundreds of arguments" the teachers were probably right, but you refused to accept your own failings due to your arrogance.

*trys it* oh yeah grrrr damn you Word

Ok then, I heard it in 2 movies before.

Sorry Homosh, it's wrong. Say it to yourself, it doesn't make sense. If you'd said murder then you'd be right, but you didn't, so you aren't.

Paste a crossbob story into MS Word. A lot of the time it won't find any errors. Does that mean his stories are grammatically sound...?

Spelling/Grammar checkers are crap.
