The sad thing is that some people will actually take this suggestion.
That’s just…beyond belief. How in the world is that even possible? Anyway, it results in major lol ^^
You can set MS Word to automatically suggest different things by editing the dictionary… If people are doing this on purpose just to a get a pic up… fail on you.
Never Trust a computer for the English language.

Nope, I haven’t changed a thing in Word. It doesn’t even know how to spell my name right yet!
i bet all microsoft words would say thats wrong.
Which statement is the most accurate regarding regions?
it would assume “regarding” is a participial adjective, and “regions” is plural, and thus “statement” is a collective noun, or a plural somehow. a similar sentence that would have been read correctly this way would be “Which sheep are the most woolly grazing types?” (sounds a little weird, but correct english)
its an easy mistake to make if yer a computer.
Not to ruin anyone’s day, but I’m pretty sure that the verb tense refers to when the verb actually happened, not whether or not it’s a singular or plural verb.
Fail fail.
The thing is, the meat of the sentence is ‘which statement is accurate’, and Word should be able to recognize both the question form and the singular nature of ‘accurate’. Simple appositives. Silly Word.
I will say that it fusses over a lot of text I edit, and I can understand why, as it’s full of codecs and regions and resource groups and other technical phrases that stack on one another and would make most grammar teachers run screaming from the room like a Banshee. But this one made me sit up and take notice, as Word usually doesn’t throw errors like this.
Hurrah for an active grammar conversation!
@David: Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that; what’s incorrect here is number, not tense.
I didn’t even realize that she captioned it wrong. (I didn’t add the caption and was wondering what David was really on about. Whoops!)
Is this a case of Caption Fail?
Lol thats a good one

add an “s” on statement and then put “are” instead of “is” that’s probably how the thing is reading it anyway.
stupid computers

this is so true, almost EVERY document i write ends up with microsoft word telling me to change “is” to “are” when it does not apply.
I really enjoy studying on this internet site, it has got excellent content.
