Default Word - simple words

Hi everyone!



Whenever I write in Word, using the Great Britain grammar, Word keep putting blue wavey lines under certain words asking me to "consider using a simple word".

Apperantly, this is to "present a clear message or a more approachable tone". It hasn't always done this, but I can't remember when it began doing this.

Does anyone know how to make it stop?

- thank you

You might check the grammar & style settings, via File|Options|Proofing>Writing Style>Grammar & Style>Settings.
