Green Squiggly Lines:

Microsoft Word: Computers as Readers

In addition, we need to consider the green squiggly line under "she is told so by the red squiggly line." If the student right clicks, she gets "the red squiggly line tells her so." A student working with the symbolic presence of the writing teacher as represented by Microsoft Word would have written: "For intance, if a student is composing and misspells a word such as 'instance' she is told so by the red squiggly line." She might then change that sentence to read: "For instance, if a student is composing and misspells a word such as 'instance' the red squiggly line tells her so." Is there a difference? Does this change from "she is told so by the red squiggly line" to "the red squiggly line tells her so" matter?
