Word should say "Spelling and grammar check ARE complete" not "is"
Word returns the message "Spelling and grammar check is complete". I know
it's referring collectively to a tool, but the sentence has two subjects so the plural "are" should be used. I wonder if I typed "spelling and grammar check is complete" in a word document, would spell check catch it. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
