Ok, i use Word alot. mostly for schoolwork. I have never really had problems with it, save an annoyance here or there with an occasional "Fragment" and "past tense use" or w/e(he was being "verb" by "name") (forget the english term :/)
Anyhoo, In the past few weeks i had been REALLY annoyed with word and its suggestions. I usually like them, but sometimes it just kills the context of the sentence.
Then this happened about 10 minutes ago:

WTF How the hell did Word come up with that?!?!?!?
Seriously i wouldnt mind if the re-arranged the sentence, but killing the meaning is going to far.
(Oh, dont argue with what i wrote. My opinion, freakin Research Paper)

Make it two sentences, Or fix it yourself if it bugs you that much.

No its not that i wasnt able to fix it. That was hella easy.
It was just that the suggestion pissed me off.

I really wished I picked Protranser now, or even acrotecher.

I can see my sig now
Neurotransmitter(5), Overprotects(3)

It's like FireFox, for Word.

I like word, but I wrangle it in.

Some of the commenting/editing features are nice.

OpenOffice is a good alternative but the spell checker in it makes Word look like a collegiate dictionary.

At least by pointing out the grammar mistake you were notified of the problem http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Yeah, word is awful - I switched to Openoffice and online thesauruses, and it makes writing a helluva lot easier. It actually obeys you when you try to put text in a specific place, or use pictures.

I write everything in HTML.

Hence, I never use MS word ;p.
