why microsoft word does not know more about the paper i am writing than do i
dear microsoft word,
i hate you. i literally hate you. why do you put those squiggly green
lines under my sentences? and then the only help you give me is "(consider
revising)" or "long sentence" or you take my sentence, which is written in
the passive voice, which is extremely common and sometimes even necessary
in scientific writing, and you flip it around into some bizarro sounding
dumb dumb dumb sentence written in active voice. i hate you. if you were a
person, i would smack you.
and quit putting a squiggly red line under every single name i type. just
quit doing that. because of you i am too lazy to reach for the shift key,
too. because you automatically capitalize things for me. i hope you're
happy that now on my blog i look like a big dummy.
did i mention i hate you? well i do. now get off my back. and stop putting
squiggly lines under everything i write. you're giving me a complex.
