Thank God it's finally here! Microsoft has added a "wokeness" checker in Microsoft Word.



In an apparent attempt to inculcate “woke” language into the verbiage of hundreds of millions of people, Microsoft has developed an “inclusiveness” checker in its Word software that would highlight phrases that might offend others.


Legendary astronaut Neil Armstrong’s famed words upon landing on the moon in which he lauded “one giant leap for mankind” could be altered to “humankind” or “humanity.” Pop singer Barry Manilow’s hit “Copacabana,” in which Manilow sang of Lola the “showgirl” could be altered to “dancer,” “performer,” or “performing artist.”

Referring to the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, as “Mrs. Thatcher” could be replaced by “Ms. Thatcher.” “Postman Pat” could be changed to “mail carrier” or “postal worker.” “Headmaster” becomes “Principal,” “mistress” becomes “lover,” “master” becomes “expert,” “manpower” becomes “workforce,” and “heroine” becomes “hero,” among other changes reported by The Sun.

The best I can figure is that people are going out of their way to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
