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]
