Question

17 years later, 150 pounds heavier and 5 ½ feet taller, I have gotten used the American way of things, living the majority of my life California and Seattle, Washington.

Does that make sense? I get a fragment line on Word.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

This would be better:

<b>Seventeen years later, 150 pounds heavier and 5 ½ feet taller, I have become used to the American way of doing things, having lived the majority of my life in California and Washington.</b>

Word may still tell you it's a fragment. Who knows why Word's grammar checker does what it does?! It's not a fragment.

If you have question about the changes I made, let me know.

Answer 2

I like your way of phrasing things better. It flows a lot better.

Thank you.

Answer 3

You're very welcome.
