Hi all
 

Does anyone know how to edit the rules in the grammar checker in word?

 

Mine insists that 

 

training organisation staff contact employers regularly

 

should be 

 

training organisation staff contacts employers regularly

 

In Australian English the word staff means ?The people who work for an
organisation.? And it is quite acceptable ? even normal ? to treat it as a
plural, like the word people

 

Word has no problem with 

 

training organisation people contact employers regularly

 

Is there any way I can change the definition of the word ?staff? in the
grammar checker?  I do not want to scrap the number agreement rule
completely, just correct its error permanently. 

 

Best Regards
