So do I. I write in Word and it will usually catch my grammatical errors, although I don't always trust it. It will tell me that a sentance like "I am going to the store" should be "I is going to the store". O_o Needless to say, I shut off the grammar checking while I write. I never know when to use 'lay' and when to use 'lie' when talking about someone, say, taking a nap or something.
She lay down near the fire, her eyes heavy with weariness.
She lie down near the fire, her eyes heavy with weariness.
Which is correct? They both sound correct to me. In cases like this, my grammar checking will try and tell me that it should be 'laid' or some such thing and I know that's incorrect.
