Hmm...

I'm just checking a document (story) for a friend in MS Word, and this document contains the sentence:

"It's nice to know that you aren't out there somehere hating my guts, as I once thought you were."


The part "aren't out there somewhere hating" is underlined in green, and Word suggests that I replace it with:

"don't out there somewhere hate"


So, the correct grammar for the sentence is apparently:

"It's nice to know that you don't out there somewhere hate my guts, as I once thought you were."


So much for grammar checking!

Anyone else ever had anything similar?

Word's grammar checker does more harm than good. Some of it is BLATANTLY wrong.

Also, it always seems to think the apostrophe should never be used, even when talking about something belonging to somebody. Burk me, I learnt that in my first years of primary school. A big fancy programme doesn't know it after years of nerds programming it.

Word just loves the word "Worldwide".

If you type "worldwide" it underlines it and offers "world-wide"

Is there a game on the net where you kill the paperclip character in a variety of amusing ways?
