spellcheck is missing incorrect grammar

Word does not see anything wrong with this sentence

It would very welcome if you were able to be part of the inauguration.

Which should really read: It would be very welcome if you were able to be
part of the inauguration.

 

[Richard O. Neville]

What's the difference? I don't see any. However, the sentence is stilted;
modern usage of American English would better render this as "We would be
delighted if you could participate in the inauguration." "It would be very
welcome..." is completely impersonal; welcome to whom? And what is meant by
"part of?" This sounds like some type of participation, but the reader gets
no clue as to what form that might take--it could vary from just being an
attendee to giving a speech.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

"It would be very welcome if you were able to be part of the inauguration"
is actually not quite correct either. "It would be much appreciated" or "We
would be very grateful" or "You would be very welcome" would be preferable.

Still doesn't tell me how I can resolve the issue.

'You would very welcome' is also passwed as correct instead of 'You would be
very welcome'

That's why most of us don't bother with the grammar checker. It's not
equivalent to a human reader.
