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

[b]In an apparent attempt to inculcate “woke” language into the verbiage of hundreds of millions of people, Microsoft has developed an [c=BF0000]“inclusiveness” checker [/c]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 [c=BF0000]“one giant leap for mankind”[/c] could be altered to [c=BF0000]“humankind” or “humanity.”[/c] Pop singer Barry Manilow’s hit “Copacabana,” in which Manilow sang of Lola the [c=BF0000]“showgirl”[/c] could be altered to [c=BF0000]“dancer,”[/c] [c=BF0000]“performer,” or “performing artist.”[/c]
Referring to the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, as [c=BF0000]“Mrs. Thatcher”[/c] could be replaced by [c=BF0000]“Ms. Thatcher.”[/c] [c=BF0000]“Postman Pat”[/c] could be changed to [c=BF0000]“mail carrier” or “postal worker.” [/c][c=BF0000]“Headmaster”[/c] becomes [c=BF0000]“Principal,”[/c] [c=BF0000]“mistress”[/c] becomes [c=BF0000]“lover,” [/c][c=BF0000]“master”[/c] becomes [c=BF0000]“expert,”[/c] [c=BF0000]“manpower”[/c] becomes [c=BF0000]“workforce,”[/c] and [c=BF0000]“heroine” [/c]becomes [c=BF0000]“hero,”[/c] among other changes reported by The Sun.[/b]
This might be a good thing though honestly. It will give people a chance to re-imagine ways to be insulting.
Well like this - cigarettes are no longer allowed to call their various products things like "Marlboro Lights/ultra light" so what did they do? They are now Marlboro Gold.
One of my fav cigs - Tourney slim light 120 are now Tourney slim Rose 120. To me that sounds sexier than "lights".
PLUS, good folks, sometimes using the "woke" terms is more snarky anyways.
For example, did "a hood rat just give birth to another future criminal" OR did "A less fortunate woman give birth to another exciting challenge for the tax payers".
See how much nicer that sounds? :D
Thank you MS for presenting a product that will decrease stress for the snow crystals.
