More fun with grammar checker
Just guess what grammar checker wants changed in this:
The poster wasn’t from Covent Garden, however, but La Scala. The diva, surely, though she didn’t know Callas by sight, stood in a simple white draping robe, white flowers wreathed on her dark head, her hand resting on a boulder barely distinguishable against the dark background.I sincerely doubt you got it.
The diva stood in simple white draping robe, white flowers wreathed on her dark head...Amazing.

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Oh, yeah, that's way too complex a sentence for a grammar checker to have a clue about, so any "correction" will be sort of random.
You think of this as "fun"? Yow! I prefer to use grammar-checker CDs as coasters for hot drinks.

OTOH, my students haven't taken its weirder advice, anyway!
