More like Microsoft doesn't Works
Yes i should be in bed but keeping you dedicated fans is important. Todays humourous observation? microsoft works auto correct. Due to use of messanger, my typing speed has increase. but so has my lack of capitalization( or too much capitalization eg. ...the end. THen the other day . . .) also words such as 'hte' (not to be confused with 'teh') are quite often typed. thanks to a little feature somewhere these are automatically corrected for me. that is nice. this nice feature also has an annoyingness when say you dont want to capitalize the first letter of a line for whatever reason and works does it for you. things like no or too many capitals at the beginning of the sentence are common mistakes. so are mixing letters like 'hte' or 'oevr' ans so they are fixed. but sometimes works does things that make no sence to me. for example to day i was doing my homework and i had a graph of the function fxspline. (i solved for fx using the spine tool). so i insert the graph and beneath it type 'fxspline' then procede to hit return (or space cant remember) and then i am suprises. it did capitalize the F, but that is not all. it changed 'fxspline' (not found in the works dictionary) to 'Fishlike'. yes fishlike. Now I ask, how often do you write fishlike? and of those times, how often do you spell it wrong? do you really think it is used enough to have a built in feature that changes words to it? many of you know that i use interestin words while "communicating" ideas, but in post history i have not used the word 'fishlike' (maybe in comments but i really doubt it).
so moral of the story, HA HA works, you're dumb

I love it, that's hilarious. That's also the essence of what a weblog should post about. Fishlike stories. Makes me think of gollum.
I agree 100 percent. Once I saw "microsoft works" in a list of oxymorons. I could rant forever about how we think we are so smart with all this technology, but really it's just making us stupider by the minute!
Anyway, you made me laugh.
