for English Canada in Word 2003:rejects
The staff is happy

but accepts

Hundreds of Staff of the company is working through the night for the
project.

A hundred Staff of the company is working through the night for the
project.

A hundreds Staff of the company is working through the night for the
project.

Staff of the company is working through the night for the project.

A Staff of hundred the company is working through the night for the
project.

Word 2003 expects

The staffs are happy

and reject the "staff is"



while ' The staffs are happy" may be debatable,

"A Hundreds" definitely should not be accepted



Well, I guess we just can't rely on words spelling and grammar checking
entirely or else we have laughable to ludicrous writing to show





I won't surprised there may be debate among the ms developers what should be
accepted with the wide diversity of ethnic, lingual background among them.



BTW outlook express does accept "The staff is happy" but then it also
accepts

The staffs is happy
