Actually pride... The way I used it in that sentence, it is actually correct grammar. To be absolutely sure, I checked that sentence in Office 2007, and I checked it with GrammarStation.com

Alternatively, I could have said "I did great at the last LAN." Unless you still think that 'great' should be replaced by 'well'. Last time I checked, 'great' was not synonymous with 'well'.

In your face. Not just anyone can become a grammar Nazi.

Your point?

Q. When do you use well or good?
A. In general, use well to describe an activity, good to describe a thing.

When it is an activity being described, use well, as in "He did well in the spelling bee." Well is an adverb in that instance, describing the verb. When it is a condition or a passive state being described, use good, as in "You're looking good tonight!". Good is an adjective in this instance, describing the noun.

With feel good/feel well, it is more complicated. In this case, the word well is being used an adjective meaning 'healthy' — so it is OK to say, "I feel well." You can say "I feel good" also, but it is more informal, borderline slangy.

Nevertheless, the description of it's application did say it was acceptable, as did a grammar checker program I downloaded, not to mention everywhere else.

So, by all legallity, I'm still in the green.

NO. You are still wrong.

Prove to me that it is unnacceptable. If so, then I'll have to task you with writing to these major companies and correcting their grammar in their word processing utilities.
