MS Word Giving Bad Grammar Advice

While working on an article for the next issue of eLearning Buzz in Word, one of those oh so helpful green squiqqly lines informed me that I used some incorrect language. It looked right to me, so I right-clicked the word with the green squiggly under it to see Word's suggestion. Well, below is what I got.



Here's the phrase, "the system used to organize and classify your saved links." Word thinks that the possessive pronoun "your" should be replaced by the contraction "you're." Wouldn't this turn it into the equivalent of "the system to organize and classify you are saved links"? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Ok, so the whole sentence isn't great (this is just a draft), but maybe this is one of the reasons why the word usage online is so terrible? I mean, just check out the comments on Digg.

I'm not a great writer or even a strict grammar cop, but these things bug me sometimes. Is Word contributing to the problem?

It's probably not even Word's fault. It's pretty clunky writing and Word probably didn't know what I was trying to say. But the difference between possessive pronouns and contractions is one I see a LOT.

Am now stepping down from my cranky, old-person platform...
