*still writing*

Dear Microsoft Word,

Please stop underlining any sentence you decide is written in "passive voice." Not every sentence has to be the literary equivalent of a pushy used car salesman.

No love,
Spoofie

ARGH! I hate that! Especially when their "suggestion" doesn't actually make sense

TextEdit leaves a lot to be desired, but at least it doesn't presume to critique my style, for pete's sake.

I think you can turn that option off, though. *puts on IT hat* If, while in Word, you go to Tools, then Options, then click the "Spelling & Grammar" tab, there's a little drop-down menu under "Writing Style" that you can change to "Grammar Only." *takes off IT hat* That ought to shut it up.
