Microsoft the company should big improve Word grammar check.
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That sentence is a confusing jumble. However, it is perfectly fine in the assessment of Microsoft Word's built-in grammar checker, which detects no problem with the prose.
Sandeep Krishnamurthy thinks Microsoft can do a lot better.
The University of Washington associate professor has embarked on a one-man mission to persuade the Redmond company to improve the grammar-checking function in its popular word-processing program. Krishnamurthy is also trying to raise public awareness of the issue.
Krishnamurthy, 37, grew up in Hyderabad, India. A textbook author and a frequent contributor to scholarly journals, he is passionate about writing and the English language.
