New ms word inclusiveness BS

#1 Post by cadillacmike68 » Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:43 pm

So now it checks and "corrects" you for "inclusiveness as in changing mankind to humankind or blacklisted to blocked, etc.

So are we supposed to go back to 1969 and correct Neil Armstrong's words as he set foot on the moon?????

jeez... :roll:

I'm staying with 2010 or 2000 (for the W98 systems). No plans to change.

Maybe they should rename it to ms werd :P

So sick and tired of this political correctness BS. I never ever had any problem with anyone calling me a male/man. I'd rather be called an idiot than an it.

Soon "good morning" is offensive and grounds for getting fired because I've offended some PC Nazi who is not having a good morning.

edit: Mods please don't change my user name from Cigarguy to Cigarperson.
