Word Grammar wants me to use "I is" not "I am" How Wierd!!!
The message is in the Subject. The "Word" grammar corrector wanted me to
use "I is" instead of "I am" in a sentence. Where did the grammarian used by Microsoft learn his English? In China? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

suggested? -- Suzanne S.

This is the sentence in my original document:"I dont know all the finer
points of definition of duties, so if I am in someone elses realm, let me know€¦.Im sure you will".The green underline was under the "I'm sure you will" and suggested the contraction "I's" which doesn't exist. I then changed it to "I am" and got the suggestion of "I is" "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Can you give us an example of the sentence in which this "correction" is suggested? -- Suzanne S.

What do the four . . . . mean? If you change those to 3 dots or an ellipses
the marking clears. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Word Grammar wants me to use "I is" not "I am" How Wierd!!!
For the second time tonight I'm unable to reproduce a problem others
experience. My grammar checker is perfectly happy with the sentence cut and pasted from here (with line breaks removed). If I play with the dots and undo the autocorrect to an ellipsis the Style checker will object to the four dots but that's all. Just had an idea after writing that and changed the language to English (U.S.) and, lo and behold, I got the silly suggestion. Clearly someone at Microsoft knows the English won't put up with such nonsense but thinks that Americans will, or should. Yes, it is very wierd. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S.
