Re: Is there someplace to report grammar checker errors?

It's almost impossible to be 'fallible' with English grammar because it is too complex, has too many exceptions to rules; even scholars and reference books disagree over many of the finer points, let alone simple points such as the use of the comma. A perfect grammar checker would constantly dispute it self. So it must be getting close :)

But even if a softie were to be there wouldn't something like this be pretty low priority? I've always felt the grammar checker was designed to flag areas that you need to scrutinize and wasn't intended to be infallible.

While I would not hold my breath waiting, the microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar newsgroups would be a more appropriate newsgroup than this one. Very, very, very occasionally, there is a Microsoft employee who provides responses in that group.
