Why you shouldn't trust grammar checkers...

Word is insisting that I change 'X came to slowly' to 'X came too slowly'.
Which really changes the meaning quite substantially...

Actually as a grammar checker it worked to detect a poor usage of language and the fix was the simplest correction possible. Then again, the beauty of English is in its exceptions rather than its rules.

More effort required by Y, I say!

Shouldn't it be "X came to, slowly."

Quite possibly. Commas and I don't really get on...
