Future "Microsoft Word" versos will have a feature to auto correct anything that seems offensive (for women). Eg: "Fat Woman" << Auto correct as "Curvy Girl".

cryptotim70726 · 2019-09-14T19:15:25+00:00

Who in their right mind still uses Microsoft Word? There are literally thousands of better programs.

Edixo1993 · 2019-09-14T19:20:16+00:00

Shouldn't it be 'curved'? A circle only has one curve.

betterforitall · 2019-09-14T19:00:03+00:00

Oh good, thought crime correction. I don't want any of those slipping out.

corytrevor710 · 2019-09-14T19:22:03+00:00

When you type in hypergamy it autocorrects to incel

deeznutsbeswingin · 2019-09-14T19:04:03+00:00

The more we shield people from the harshness of reality, the worse it’s going to be when it sinks in. Good luck, human race 10 years from now

DrPVM · 2019-09-14T23:28:33+00:00

You can already set it to autocorrect words and phrases to those of your choosing. For example, I have mine set to autocorrect "Microsoft" to "cunts"

Opportunity for a programmer to sell a plug in to Word to "unpolitical correct" your grammar. Probably easy to do, shit over 20 years ago, I saw a jive converter to convert regular english to jive.

This is censorship of the marketplace of free ideas. Think of all the children growing up going through school who all have to use this as it's default at their schools. Christ. They even go after the working places where people draft and craft their ideas, shape their minds and from there shape the world.

I think this could be more serious than it might look.

Here's the full article for those interested. It's from May 2019

I can just imagine some poor high school kid writing a paper about WW2 and not being able too because Microsoft removes any mention of Nazi’s or Hitler

Will MS Word be forced to update the political correctness regularly since today's political correct term can quickly become political incorrect.

For example, if enough people use the term "curvy" with the same disdain as "fat", the word curvy will soon be seen as offensive of a term to use to describe women as fat is now.

ToshinRaiizen · 2019-09-14T20:29:09+00:00

Anyone know of another word processing program? Thanks in advance.

simplystimpy · 2019-09-14T20:40:38+00:00

Honestly, the euphemism sounds more humiliating than just plain fat woman.

You're a curvy girl, are you? And how do you get to school, are you herded in by horse?

[deleted] · 2019-09-14T22:58:15+00:00

It doesn’t need it. It’s already very PC (ba-dum-tss)

Older versions of Microsoft Word for Windows had clear autocorrect definitions for misogyny but not for misandry and Word 2007 didn’t even have misandry in the dictionary. This problem is notable in other products too. In fact, typing misandry on iOS 13 beta2 with an English (United Kingdom) language selection still shows no definition for the word on autocomplete, though it does have misandrist... so I’m sure it’s an oversight.

krugerand9 · 2019-09-14T20:52:18+00:00

will it correct phat Woman too?

DarkHonger · 2019-09-14T21:20:17+00:00

if i speak the truth and my words hurt you so much... you should probaly change your **** and not change my words

FaustoLG · 2019-09-14T21:35:24+00:00

And hackers will find a way to disable such BS...

If they have defeated the activation, a "1984 writing routine" will be a breeze for them...

iseehot · 2019-09-14T21:39:58+00:00

This is only in Word Online. A better article describing it.

Remember Clippy?

fat_lesbians_lul · 2019-09-14T21:52:40+00:00

ive used libre office wverxsince i remember, once you get used to it its almost as good as word

hardtostarboard2016 · 2019-09-14T22:26:47+00:00

My program corrects curvy woman to unhealthy woman

lilrocketman2017 · 2019-09-14T22:54:47+00:00

Time to ditch Word for open source Libre Office.

Fanz_Alt · 2019-09-14T23:08:36+00:00

lol fuck that I'll disable it

MrBluePill · 2019-09-14T23:10:43+00:00

They'll object to the use of 'Girl' in 'Curvy Girl' though.

GoatKnows · 2019-09-14T23:32:59+00:00

What the fuck wow

ChickenShitBalls · 2019-09-14T23:48:08+00:00

Been using pages for ages. The one or two things word can do aren’t really beneficial to me.

malerevolution · 2019-09-14T23:52:43+00:00

I was a WordPerfect/Lotus guy for many years but when more and more offices started moving towards MS Office, I started using it at home so I could learn it for work. I bought a copy of Office 97 on Ebay many years ago fairly cheap and that is what I used. I got a handle on it and haven't bought a new version since.

I use LibreOffice mostly these days, on both my Windows and Linux machines and am happy with it. I use mostly Write and Calc and have no problems. I can edit documents and spreadsheets on it and then export them to Office or PDF format for use on other platforms. If MS does this PC stuff, I'm through with them or I'm getting WordPerfect again.

Loreze · 2019-09-15T00:21:50+00:00

Fun fact: fat women are still fat, even if you say they aren’t.

WHOA.

CylonSupremacy · 2019-09-15T00:45:43+00:00

I know what they are going for, but remember the last time someone started using AI? And it went hardcore against what they intended?

yuppiedoof · 2019-09-15T01:30:35+00:00

Typewriters, people.

RexMcRider · 2019-09-15T02:14:01+00:00

The next feature will be an AI that reports you to the "proper authorities" or you boss (even if you're using it at home) if you don't like the corrections.

CastandRefused · 2019-09-15T04:02:23+00:00

Don't worry, we all know what "curvy girl" really means anyway.

JohnPerera · 2019-09-15T05:38:10+00:00

I was sleepy when uploading this, typed "versos" instead "versions". Sorry about that.

Watch them balk and throw a shit-fit when everyone stops buying/using Word, and other companies start selling a better product.
I swear: the feminists and the cucks truly do not know when to stop, nor how to handle setbacks with grace. It's all "me, me, me, gimme, gimme, gimme, want, want, want". Bunch of fuckheads.

[deleted] · 2019-09-15T09:38:40+00:00

Thank god I switched to Ubuntu and libre office. No more microcuck

serotonino · 2019-09-15T16:36:32+00:00

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that” — Yeah, I mean who doesn’t want their every thought and comment redacted to make it non-offensive to every oppressed person it could offend ?!
