Jamie,
Don't you find that the grammar check is often wrong?
I've turned it off because I find it annoying. It
doesn't take into consideration a lot of things. I've
looked at what it shows, when I had it on, and what I
had was totally grammatically correct. Besides, we
can't change grammatical errors that appear in a book
anyway. Without the grammar check, I find subject-verb
agreement errors, comma errors, compound sentence
punctuation errors, but the books are written
casually, not as our English teachers would have us
write them, and we can't change them.
