Grammar
them/themselves
Greetings,
Word has a problem with the following sentence:
I thought my problems were of a temporary kind and that they would eventually solve themselves.
To me, this sounds correct. Word suggests that themselves should be replaced by them, but that just sounds wrong to me.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
