tdog 0 #1 March 29, 2005 I am the first to admit my spelling sucks... My grammar is a close second... But read the following news story... What have professors turned into... Quote (AP) - What's wrong with this sentence? "Microsoft the company should big improve Word grammar check." A University of Washington associate professor ran it through the grammar check in Microsoft Word, and the software found it acceptable. Professor Sandeep Krishnamurthy is on a mission to get the software giant to tweak its grammar-check system. He says he discovered problems after scolding a student he'd given a poor grade for submitting a paper filled with grammatical errors. The student complained that she had used the software to check for errors. Microsoft says grammar is almost impossible for a computer to master because it requires artificial intelligence that isn't available. Microsoft Word spokesman Chris Pratley says the best way to ensure grammar is correct is to pay attention in school. (Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

kelel01 1 #2 March 29, 2005 That's ridiculous. If a student can't learn grammar, and they blame it on the computer, they should be shot. Learn it or don't learn it, but don't expect someone or something else to do it for you. Honestly, I think they should remove the grammar check altogether, though. That thing does suck.
