Improper grammar? How so? It seems like a perfectly legitimate contraction according to the dictionary:
| Dictionary.com wrote: |
| you've - contraction of you have: You've already been there. |
Word doesn't seem to have a problem with that sentance either.

I would like to point out that Word is the most stupid Spellchecker that has had the grace of being put on this earth, not only does the UK version fail to include the correct spellings of UK Words as opposed to American ones, but it also excludes words altogether at times.
I believe (if someone hasn't beaten to the posting punch), that what Goron means is that "got" can be excluded from "You have got", as proper English would say that "got" would be ommited. Unless of course my Grammer is on the same level as 3kuls.

If you have Office 2003 then you can set Word's language to default to English (UK) rather then English (US), which isn't all that bad to be honest. It recognises the word Colour, which is the main spelling difference that annoys me between the US and the UK because I used to wonder why my HTML <colour> tags would not work.
