Who Needs Subjunctive Anyways?

Anyways, I don't have time to be putting this here, but I'm doing it anyways. I'm hard at work at the library, putting together my part of a group research paper (don't even get me started on the wiseity of that idea), and I'm typing along in Spanish . . .

And I put in the wonderful word, "surgirieran," referring to something "coming up" (in this case, it was Hitler's attacks in Eastern Europe at the start of WWII), only to find that the word the Word thinks I should have put in there is "sugirieran" (the same, but without the first 'r'). Now, don't get me wrong, my Spanish isn't perfect (well . . .), but I for sure know that the verb I'm conjugating is "surgir" - and the suggestion they're giving me just is not making sense at all.

Now, what I'm planning on writing down here has changed about three times since I started, as I get curious and explore new ideas to answer the strange question. But I think my final response to what's going on is this: Word is indeed trying to get me to use a different verb (the fourth new idea just came up and is now dominating), "sugerir," because (now this is important) I had typed it in wrong in the first place - it should have been "surgieran"(missing an 'ir' that had been in the middle there somewhere).

Anyways, between the confusing frustration and all my new ideas popping up, I've decided that wasn't really the tense/mood/whatever I'd wanted to use in the first place. (So, for those of you that really care, I ended up with "surgirían" . . .)

One of those days where I really do feel like I've learned something new (even if it is just how silly my mistakes are sometimes).
