Microsoft Word Introduces New Feature to Correct Wrongthink

This will actually make your life easier.

No, seriously.

You didn’t know you’re not allowed to say “mankind” anymore, but you could get fired, banned from the internet, and sued for using that term. Merrick Garland might even have you thrown into a political torture prison.

This is serious business.

You should be thanking Microsoft for keeping you up to date on words that could destroy your life.

Breitbart:

Microsoft has reportedly introduced a new feature in the latest version of its Word software that suggests more politically correct phrases and words, including the removal of offensive terms like “mankind.”

The Daily Mail reports that Microsoft has added a new feature to the latest version of Word that acts as an auto checker for inclusive language and suggests politically correct alternatives to certain words. The new feature adds a purple line below words or phrases deemed to be “problematic” by the woke tech giant.

Once Word has highlighted the potential troublesome word or phrase, it will suggest a politically correct alternative. In one case, Word suggested changing the term “Postman” to “mail carrier” or “postal worker.”

The software also suggested an alteration to the famous quote from astronaut Neil Armstrong, suggesting that the quote “one giant leap for mankind,” should be updated to “humankind,” or “humanity,” instead. Luckily, the feature can be turned off in settings.

This was NOT a joke

This update to the popular Word software comes just shortly after a survey found that U.S. customers ranked Microsoft as one of the most trusted tech firms, with 43 percent of poll participants stating that they trust the firm “a great deal/a good amount,” compared to Google and Facebook.

Who on earth trusts Microsoft? Who are these people?

I guess if the question is “do you trust Microsoft more than Google and Facebook?”, then maybe it makes sense.
