Grammar Checker Not as Good as It Used to Be
I'm an editor, and I've been using MSWord since it took over the market in the 1990s. I have my settings set rather tightly. Yet, this summer I find spelling and punctuation errors that the grammar checker would have caught a year ago. And it's suggested fixes includes more semicolons than anyone uses today. My gut says that it uses AI rather than whatever engine it used to use.
Grammar Correction Glitch.
Is Word just expressing a grammatical preference here? In word, type in the following sentence: He lay there, his eyes open. Then hit enter. It will prompt you to change the comma to a semi-colon. Let it do that. It produces "He lay there; his eyes open." It wants to correct the semi-colon to a comma. Here, I'll show you in this .gif that I captured: Does the same happen for you?
When doing the spelling and grammar check, it doesn't correct small i?
For some reason, Microsoft Word spelling & grammar under review doesn't correct the small i into capital I? It neither finds out where the full stop or commas should be? I am looking for a solution that would identify the spelling and grammar error after the document is completed. This is because I copy the text from somewhere else and then try to correct the errors. Any help is appreciated.
