Your attempts to deflect your own grammatical incompetence with misleading pedantry are amusing, but I am clearly the superior Mensch.

I used that to help my mom's friend with her capstone project. It's rather stupid sometimes.

And it sounds like you have to pay money to get a version that's actually useful.

She had access through her college. I've never tried it otherwise.


Grammar Fun!

The following are all grammatically correct sentences.

These I understand:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Police police police police police police police police.
That that exists exists in that that that that exists exists in.
If it is it, it is it. If it is, it is it, it is.

These I don't:

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.
Can can can can can can can can can can.

Can you figure them out?

I didn't try it out first, I just loaded the page, and it seemed legitimate. I have failed miserably.

Buffalo - noun (city)
buffalo - verb (bully)
buffalo - noun (the animal)

police - verb (control/"police something")
police - noun (the cops)
police police - noun (the people who police the cops)

Those are the only two you don't get?

I've never heard that one before. I guess it must be a New Jersey thing.
