gigapixels Veteran Posted June 15, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 15, 2006 Haha that's great. I should use that in a paper and tell the professor, "But MS Word spell-check told me that was the right one!" :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470225-stupid-ms-word/#findComment-587607558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraftman Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 BTW, you should save that :o An unsaved document in Microsoft Word. If the spelling is any indication of how much to trust it then your essay is already gone :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/470225-stupid-ms-word/#findComment-587607561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I8PP Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd reword it to the following (or similar): ... there would be many more dead or seriously wounded soldiers then there already were. Word didn't pick that grammatical error up :s I'm not feeling the "then there already were" part, but not sure how to eloquently end it... but that's not the point of this thread ;).

brilliant naoki Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Yeah, Microsoft Word always suggests funny things, sometimes even making the grammar incorrect. I'm actually used to it by now lol, sometimes I just turn "check spelling and grammar as you type" off altogether.
