incorrect suggestions in the grammar tool
I have noticed incorrect grammar suggestions more than once (the green
underline). "It's" and "its" is a problem. "Your" and "You're" have also been flagged incorrectly. Has anyone else noticed this? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Works fine for me here. Are you sure you are using the correct usage?

Millie, Here's an example of an "it's" that was flagged as incorrect: "I
hope it’s smooth sailing from here on out." The tool said it should be "its" instead. Any thoughts on it?

Word doesn't really "read" a sentence. It's (not its) a machine.

No grammar checker can ever do a perfect job. In fact, no grammar checker
can do better than a mediocre job. If your education was good enough to make you sure of your use of "its" and "it's", you're probably better off without one. Most of the "rules" they try to enforce are more matters of opinion or matters of style anyway. really? wrote: I have noticed incorrect grammar suggestions more than once (the green underline).

The spelling checker is very helpful, though not perfect, but the
grammar checker is a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned. Just keep a decent grammar book by your computer in case you run into trouble. I find myself consulting Patricia T. O'Conner's "Woe Is I" once or twice a week. It's not the most comprehensive grammar book around, but it's the easiest to understand. really? wrote: I have noticed incorrect grammar suggestions more than once (the green underline).
