ugh so lately google docs has started doing a squiggly blue line under… bad grammar, i think it’s supposed to be? it’s driving me fucking batty because it is literally every other sentence i write, and there is only one time when it turned out I’d hit a spacebar twice. every other time it’s shit like this
[image: screenshot of text reading “the label on the wine bottle” with the words “the wine” underlined with a jagged blue line]
I need to turn this shit the fuck off, it’s driving me insane.
(I just went through the settings and figured out how to uncheck ‘show grammar suggestions’ but accidentally ran the checker and it turns out it wanted me to say “the bottle of wine” in that sentence. Why??? Most of its other suggestions were very clearly it not understanding the compound past tense or much of anything really.)
[image: text reading “Nobody’d had an eat-in kitchen like this” with “nobody’d had” underlined in blue squiggles]
[image: screenshot of partial lines of text with blue squiggles under the freestanding word “hypnotized” and the phrase “just rumor”]
there is nothing wrong with the word “hypnotized”??? or am I going insane??? and it’s set to American English so why would it object to “just rumor”??? argh.
Anyhow. Go to Tools–> Spelling and Grammar and uncheck “show grammar suggestions” if you, like me, find this recent addition to the function of Gdocs to be absolutely fucking maddening.
