right or wrong?: "I will no longer be using this email address."

Question

0 My co-worker used this sentence "I will no longer be using this email address." and our boss pointed out that it wass grammatically incorrect. Is it? I'm curious because I also use this sentence structure quite often (e.g. I will no longer be working on this project" or "I will no longer be eating chocolate for the rest of my life.")02br02br00Please enlighten me. I know the sentence can be simplified but is the sentence really gramatically incorrect?0-

0 I'm not really sure what! That's why I had to post in this forum. I wasn't there when our boss pointed this out to my co-worker. My co-worker just told me about it and it's driving me nuts! Hehe! I just wanted to find out if it was really gramatically incorrect. My instinct tells me it's correct and I've asked a few people who agreed it sounded okay.02br
02br
00So maybe it was just a freak incident.02br
02br
00Thank you for your responses though. My theory is my boss probably does not like using "be." There are some who prefer making sentences straight to the point, i.e. "I will not use this email address any longer."0-

00 it's correct if you want to show that the thing is already planned and extending over a period in the future. It's better to use the continuous in this case, and this needs the 01i00be02i00. 02br
02br
00 The alternative:02br
02br
01i00"I will no longer use this email address"02i02br
02br
00 seems to indicate to some that there's less planning to it, and that it shows just the decision. 0-
