Message: [QUOTE="Detonator, post: 820355, member: 44104"] Your professor is more than likely using the policy of handing work in on disk as a deterrent for those who were considering short-cutting the system. The problem with the computer thing, as you point out, is that even if the software follows perfectly the rules of grammar, most writers don't, so you have a program finding issues that aren't there. Check out translation software...being a bilingual English/French speaker, I can report that most translation software is a joke. I think this would be an excellent critical thinking topic, and you'd do well to organize an interview with your prof or one of his/her colleagues. Just be sure you're doing it because it interests you, and not for brownie points. I always had a hard time respecting suck-ups! [/QUOTE]
