Word on iPhone
In the past, I’ve managed to edit some documents on my iPhone in Microsoft Word. But now Microsoft is slapping me in the face with grammatical suggestions that obscure my document. I don’t want any grammatical suggestions, but I can’t figure out how to make them stop. Can anybody suggest how I can do that? Am I in the right place to ask this question? Is there another place for the iPhone app?

According to the support article at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/check-your-spelling-in-word-on-your-mobile-device-8df5f8db-1c14-4de1-b192-83bdba3577eb#id0ebd=office_for_ios, what you can do is turn spellchecking on or off. There seems to be no separate option for grammar checking.
Try this:
1. Open the Word app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the three dots (•••) in the top-right corner of the screen.
3. Select Settings.
4. Tap Editor Settings or Proofing (the name may vary slightly depending on your version).
5. Look for Grammar or Spelling & Grammar.
6. Toggle off Grammar suggestions.Doesn’t work. 3 dots offer options. Not that one. Nothing like that one. I’ve been using pages on my phone. Word is (currently) too obnoxious
