I started typing in random things into Microsoft Word. One of the things was "Who the fuck are you?"
It said this was improper grammar. The corrections were "Who the fuck is you?" or "Who the fucks are you?"

Is Microsoft Word correct?

"Welcome to our world" kinda had some repressed anger behind it.

It is very much best to pay attention when using Microsoft Word's spelling and grammar checker. Though, I can naught but wonder why you would need Microsoft Word to write something that includes the phrase, "Who the fuck are you?"

well I think "Who the fuck are you" is correct But techinally "who the fuck is you" obeys all Grammar rules. So take your pick, I think "who fuck are you is correct.

Why does your MSword look outdated.

Obviously MS grammer is wrong. "Who the fuck are you" is correct. Verb usage is a pain in the ass, and I believe what throws it off is "who fuck?" would be improper while "who fucks?" (intransitive verb) is not. I'm guessing that if you use "Who the heck are you?" or "Who the hell are you?" it probably won't get flagged. However, try using "Who the crap are you?" and it probably will get flagged (not sure I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing thats probably the case, since it would be consistant).

Now that I actually think about this, it's probably more likely that MS grammer doesn't realize fuck isn't being used as a verb here, but rather an interjection. I dunno, English is a pain in the ass. I don't blame grammer check for getting confused.

Danger_Gerl makes good points. And while we're on the subject of English-as-pain-in-the-caboose, what's up with those damn schwas? So confusing. ;(
