Grammar chaecker was Re: vocabulary nitpicking
Poster: mn13189@WCUVAX1.WCU.EDU
I have only used a Grammar checker once. It was in High School, and was
required in my English class that we run our paper through it. Every time
I mentioned the word "god" the grammar checker would advise me to choose a
different word, because a lot of readers find religious matters offensive.
I was doing a research paper on Greek Mythology. Sheesh. Needless to
say, I don't put much stock in those things.
Aye,
Eogan

"Ye knowe ek that in forme of speche is chaunge
Withinne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden pris, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh he, and yet thei spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do."
--Geoffrey Chaucer (late 14th cent.)
