Ridiculous thing in Word...
2004-04-19, 6:42 AM #1
This is silly and I keep meaning to bring it up - if I type in worldwide on Word it red underlines it as a spelling error, so I duly right click it and get the choice world-wide (note the hyphen) and click it. So then it green underlines for grammatical errors and when I right click it gives me the option worldwide, so naturally if I click it it red underlines it and suggests world-wide... and then... you get the idea. How silly is that?!

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Am I safe to assume that this is in a sentence somewhere? If not, ignore the gramatical error.

Also, "world-wide" is the proper form.

I love when it tries to correct writing ambiguities - offering the most ridiculous sounding alternate sentence formations as being acceptable.
