Word is Forcing Language Change
I would like to request that Word stop imposing its preferences on grammatical conventions such as comma usage. There are many different grammatically correct ways of inserting commas into text. Word should be alerting us to a possible problem when we are using a comma ungrammatically, not when we are departing from its preferred usage. (1) It's a nuisance for users; (2) It gradually will shift our language so that its preference becomes the only acceptable usage. Get back in your lane, Microsoft!
