Asked on March 29, 2021 in Word choice.
If the two options are negative (neither this nor this, neither this or that) then use (name of option) “nor”. Otherwise, use “or”. Your example sentence can be reworded to read, “This document covers neither the SDK interfaces nor any other reference material. The SDK interfaces are based on a Python application which was developed by Java. ”
In my experience Word’s grammar checker is mediocre at best. Why does this phrase suggest a different word in a sentence? It was especially bad with version up to and including 2003, so I just keep it turned on and use thorough proof-reading.
