I have a sentence that starts “This book gets…”
Word’s grammar check doesn’t like this. It offends its sense of subject-verb agreement. What I mean to say, Word tells me, is actually “This books” or “These book.”
I had to click on tools to make sure the language was set to English. Although I’m not sure in which language either “This books gets” or “These book gets” would be correct.
Word has the option to ignore or change, but what it really needs is something akin to spell-check’s add feature, something I can use to tell it no, you’re wrong. You’re very wrong. This is already correct. Stop being stupid.
