Yeah, and the blogger spell-checker blows too!

Once again, someone is taking action against the bad grammar in the world! No, not Jake, a person who actually counts in the grand scheme of things. Prof. Sandeep Krishnamurthy of the University of Washington is taking on Microsoft Word's grammar tools! Why would he possibly do this, you might ask yourself? Well, the tool lets in such acceptable sentences as "Marketing are bad for brand big and small. You Know What I am Saying? It is no wondering that advertisings are bad for company in America, Chicago and Germany." and gosh darn it, Sandeep thinks that is wrong.

As amusing as I may find the concept of attacking a digital grammar tool in this age of falling educational standards, I have to agree that the Microsoft grammar police do about as good a job correcting mistakes as a mildly illiterate fourth grader. Or your average Live Journal writer.
