when i first saw this i thought it was a joke but evidently its real. microsoft intends to help you become more sensitive and less likely to offend. ain't that nice of them;

In June, Microsoft will preview a new version of Word that will use artificial intelligence to make your writing  politically correct. Using the Orwellian marketing term “Ideas in Word,” it will underline words or phrases that sound insensitive and suggest corrections.

Microsoft’s rivals have made similar moves. Google in February announced an A.I. writing tool to “incorporate the complexity and nuances of grammar correction.”

Say you write, “We need to get some fresh blood in here.” A.I. is likely to underline “fresh blood” and suggest “new employees” instead.

Of course, gender “bias” is high on the list. The generic words “mailman” or “congressman” would generate the androgynous titles of “mailperson” or “congressperson.” If you use the time-tested and rich term “gentlemen’s agreement,” Word suggests you use dry “unspoken agreement” instead.

For a “disabled person,” A.I. would add two more words, suggesting “person with a disability.”...........https://www.winterwatch.net/2019/05/microsoft-word-rolls-out-orwellian-newspeak-editor/
