Microsoft has obscene profits. They ought to be able to fix both big

mainly asked if there is someplace to report these bugs so that when
and if anyone at Microsoft happens to give a ****, they would have
some data to look at.

What I got back was a bunch of pedantic criticism of my writing style
and other irrelevant comments on how the grammar checker really ought
to be fallible.

I was trying to be helpful. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

I wasn't my intention to make you feel this way, I'm sorry if I did. As
Suzanne noted, we (as MVPs) do have a way to report bugs to Microsoft but at
the same time we must choose what we escalate carefully and prioritize those
we do report for the reasons she stated. What you are 'hearing' is us
hashing out the priority of the issue -- we're not attempting to criticize
you or your findings. :-)

With that in mind, if
I came across this during the beta I wouldn't take the time to report it
or
give them an 'earful' about it.

Sounds to me like you have long ago decided that the bar for Mircosoft
products is pretty low. No point in reporting anything that doesn;t
cause Word to crash, which it also does fairly frequently.

By no means am I trying to downplay your concerns, I realize everyone has
their own priorities, but the grammar checker isn't one of mine. :-)

It's not one of mine either. I discovered a bug. I thought I see if
anyone gave a damn. Obviously, not.

We do. And what you found is good to know. Should the topic of grammar check
issues ever come up I've have the examples you provided in the notes I keep.
Thanks!
