The Word 2000 grammar checker is an impertinent piece that junk that would not know a sentence fragment if it balanced all its words end-on-end in a tall line, wiggled madly side to side and chanted: "I'm a sentence fragment but I don't care!"

It makes sense to me.

The "that" in bold is a conjunction.

I am saying that the grammar checker is such a bad "piece" that junk wiggled and chanted. (The junk, by the way, would not know a sentence fragment if it balanced all its words end-on-end in a tall line.)

Does Word 2000 translate stuff into English as well?  ;D

So read more, Peepmaster. People will think you illiterate.

No, sorry, Mince - it's still complete bollo balderdash.

The phrase "Hoist by one's own petard" comes to mind. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", is another. ;D "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.", is yet another. "Mince is a twit", is one more.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Maybe it's the only way that she can communicate with you.

That's because you can't read.

Shouldn't the "have" have a line through it too?

The phrase "can't read well" is a compound noun.

Shall we all vote on whether we think your earlier diatribe makes complete sense or not, Mince?

I say "Nay".
