| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11376882 United States01/14/2022 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Microsoft has included a new function in the latest version of its Word software that acts as a checker for inclusivity and offers PC alternatives to phrases which could upset snowflakes. Traditionally, Microsoft Word has offered tools to its 25 0million users such as checking software for spelling, punctuation and grammar. But now, the left-wing tech giant has added an additional feature which reads through a user’s work and examines whether the language used may offend a Democrat. Quoting: John Dutton [link to youtu.be (secure)] Simple. Use an old version. Turn off all automatic updates upon installation. I've been running the same OS and WORD for 10 years-no trouble. |

This I hate when they try and mandate things, like a lot of things in life they just don’t make them like they used to. No I don’t want your update. I still rock like the iPhone 6 iOS 8 or whatever one was cool like 10 years ago. |

Mine weren't even enabled by default, I just checked. Yes, and this was announced a long time ago. While I think it's infantile, and simply a selling feature for the woke, I also don't lose any sleep about it because A) you can turn it off, B) a whiny Dim-o-crap would never dream of typing anything that sets it off and C) any self-respecting intelligent person (aka not Lib / Dem) would never use it to begin with. AND it makes M$ look even dumber which is ALWAYS a win in my books!  ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80389437 Also how are writers supposed to tell their stories? Didn't you know? You should only be telling stories that align with the correct belief system. Otherrwise it's subversive propaganda.  :pemnguin: ad ignorantiam - The assumption of a conclusion or fact based primarily on lack of evidence to the contrary.

I never tried it, but it is hard to believe it is better that the MS Office Suite.In other words you don't want to try it. I've never had a project that it couldn't easily handle. |
