Would you like some grammar with your tea, Mr Gates?
I have, just this minute, utterly lost any scant faith I may have had in the Microsoft spelling and grammar checker in Word.
I’m already cheesed off, because it insists on Americanising all my spelling, despite my settings being set to English (United Kingdom) on a daily basis. Which is annoying.
But can someone tell me, please, because I’m dying to know, what is wrong with this sentence?
“In the evening, the group met with other young musicians from the Oshikuku area, in order to listen to them perform.”
According to Word, it is all wrong. Terribly not done, darling. The irritating wavy green line underneath it tells me so. It helpfully suggests the following amendment:
“In the evening, the group met with other young musicians from the Oshikuku area, in order to listen to them performs.”
Which is clearly perfectly grammatically correct. Clearly.
