I ran into this a while ago with the word 'waitress' who also was a female character. Thanks Word. Stop shoving ideology. I'm going to scrivener.
It does this to me, too. And I am not pulling words out of the dictionary. It's like they want us to write for 5 year olds.
Up to 1.44 MB. 5.25" ones held 800k, but on two sides. If you only had a single sided disc drive, you had to flip them over if you wanted to access side 2.
I remember that! My dad was an engineer and had a home PC in 1979 or something. I think he had the even bigger discs... 14 or 15"? They were like LPs.
Ah yes, I remember the BBC's Domesday Project, which was released on laserdisc. Then again, I also remember when we used to pronounce "data" "dah-tah".
Hasn't happened to me, but that's probably because I'm still using Word 2013 which pre-dates the woke wave of 2020. On the topic of this, though, I had read Grammarly implemented such a system for offensive and "outdated" words, but when I tried out a list of such words to see it in action, it didn't flag anything.
Some classic computing acronyms (plus the last five, wot I just made up ... 'cos it's late ... and I'm tired) MICROSOFT == Most Intelligent Customers Realize Our Software Only Fools Teenagers WINDOWS == Will Install Needless Data On Whole System IBM == I Blame Microsoft (or I Buy Macs) WWW == World Wide Wait (or World Wide Weirdness) HTTP == Head To This Page HTTPS == Head To This Page, it's Secure URL == User(s) Rarely Listen SPAM == Successfully Pestering Advertising Material WORD == Will Officially (w)Reck Documents EXCEL == Even Xerox Can't Employ Losers POWERPOINT == Put Oblong Widget 'Ere, Rehearse Presentation ... Oh, It's Not Saved ... and so on ... feel free to make up your own!
Oh, no. Why'd you have to go and mention ... that? It took me three years of therapy, sometimes aided by alcohol, to blot out the memory of that horror. Thanks a lot. (Incidentally, I created a parody graphic using *shudder* that thing as a character. Can I share it, please? I tried to upload it, but it asks for an image URL, and since I don't have an account with a file-sharing site ... and not sure which one to use, if any ... I'm not sure what to do. Thanks!)
Consider how secure Mr. Gates must have been in his own masculinity to name his company micro and soft.
Still a better name than "Microflops", I guess? *glares pointedly at Windows CE, Windows ME, and Windows NT ... and thinks of what that spells*
CE continual exasperation ME multiple exasperation NT normal troubles Any even numbered release from Mickeysoft is always buggy as hell.
Hmm ... I was only thinking of Windows CE + Windows ME + Windows NT == Windows CEMENT. (As hard as a rock and as dumb as a brick!) Windows 2000 (and XP) weren't too bad for their time, but nowadays, of course, they're pitifully inadequate. (All of this reminds me of the time I wrote a parody of "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne, and called it "Running on XP" ... with what I remembered of trying to run WinXP. The horror).
