    Why is it that MS Word tries to be clever and correct your English for you so that it ends up being something other than what you meant to say? Worse still, why does it try to make the meaning the opposite to what you meant to say? MS Word suggested "it is not impossible" for "it is impossible". It also tried "less than" for "under" as in "under this agreement..." :wtf:

    Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

        Ok you need to turn the grammar thingy off, otherwise you will be subject to this crap from an american source trying to use the english language. I have an HTC with predictive text and for some reason it turns itself back on every now and then (possibly and update that I know nothing about) and that is even worse than your issue with word.

            Well, drifting away to another MS product MS Excel, it works wonders in letting not not type any word like "ATest". It always corrects (changes) it into Atest. X|

                That is Clippy's revenge. People voted him out, but he lives on under the hood. :)
