I blame all this on Yoda from the Star Wars movies...

Yeeessss, Yoda in grammar reversed sentences speaks... yessss.

Trivia point... If Yoda's grammer patterns are out of order for standard English... when the movie was dubbed into a forgein language for which that patter IS correct, was it translated into that language with an English grammer pattern, or left correctly in the forgein grammer patter??

I took a computational linguistics class in grad school (making computers parse natural language sentences) and it is NOT an easy task.

How about trying to grammar-check a conversation between Yoda and Gollum?......Jake

How about trying a Grammer Check on some real people.

Maybe some of our professional athletics that went to some of the finest schools in our country.!!!!!

Of course, its only been what 15 years or so since Microsoft first put the grammar checker into Word... you cant expect these things to work right away.

As far as Gollum/Yoda... looks to me like it could handle things just fine!! Pro athletes... maybe we should check for their off season activities in Microsofts payroll

Could be worse. They could be speaking in Assembly language.
