Mighty Favog Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I know that it's really a punctuation error but this is damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 well is not "is" single and "are" plural??? I think that is why the computer is doing that yet we know are is proper. It's the fallacies of the english language. Remember English language is considered one of the hardest languages to master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Not really! Likes he said, it is really a punctuation. "Boy, are you hard to find" would have been sufficed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 This looks like Outlook, which is noted for its spelling and grammar faux pas, not to mention its security problems. I recently discovered that Word docs carry a setting for language with them. I received two from co-workers here in the U.S., and one doc was set to French language and the other to Danish. So, each was flagging most of the English words as misspelled. One of my (human) word processors unraveled that for me. Another reason to hate Word and pine for a return to WordPerfect, which I still use for non-vocational writing and personal correspondence.

Moderators dtel Posted August 17, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2005 I can't say anything about grammar or punctuation , i tend to spell things like they sound. Even when i spell it correct it looks wrong to me ,been out of school 31 years and don't write much except here. Wife looks at what i type sometimes and laughs she knows i don't care. If it is important i get her to do it .{married 27 years} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply pointed out what he said and made no correction! My statement is gramatically correct! You should really go back to grade school if you cannot comprehend such a simple concept!
