Default Quirk in W2003 grammar

Test cases

You can contrast this to other web design software - they are several
hundreds of megabytes in size.

-No error is being pointed out by Word. I am referring to "other
software" so software is plural in the sense used here. So how do you
explain Word accepts software as plural here?

If you like watching Sandra Bullock play the role of the eccentric
stalker then you must

- Why is play being pointed out as a grammar error? If I change it to
playing then it accepts. I dont see anything wrong with 'play'

The default code generated by the SiteMasher Pro tool works with all
browsers.

- The whole sentence gets flagged. If I remove the word "default" then
it accepts. Cant see what is wrong with the use of default here.

If this description made you want to watch this movie, then well and
good.

- Why is good being flagged?
Reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/le...arnitv36.shtml

Other popular software that are known to produce CFG files for storing
configuration data include the following.

- Since I am referring to "other software" software needs to be plural
in sense here.
If I replace 'are' with 'is' it doesn’t sound right.

This software covers the gamut of functions ranging from planning to
reporting.
- Why is "reporting" getting flagged?

The download is less than 5 MB in size and not several hundred
megabytes in size as the other architecture design software usually
are.

- Here Word accepts "are" for software?

All the features found in the paid "build your website" tools and html
editor software are available in the free X web site design tool.

- Here, the "are" is for the features, but is being flagged by Word
2003. If I remove "and html editor software" then it will accept the
'are".

But XCart32 shopping cart has a nil or very low learning curve if at
all, because it is very easy to use and simplistic and flexible too.

- If I remove "very" then it would accept.

.. I had hoped that the 2008-2009 academic year would see the
introduction of the on-line essay submission process.

- Why is "year" flagged?

Simply drag and drop the required page elements on to the web page you
are building, and ShopTopPro then automatically creates the web page
code necessary.

- Why is "creates" flagged?

When you have completed the cart creation process and have done all
the web pages you need, then you can save and transfer all the files o
the Host who will host the website for a nominal hosting charge.

-"All the" is getting flagged - Now I know there is "o" instead of the
"to" – but that’s not the point. Remove the "d" in the word
"completed" and word would accept "all the files".

, the campus library allows students access to university owned
computers

- Why is "students" getting flagged? It is not possessive here.
