OpenOffice and Firefox do not recognize the word "sniggering".

I'm now curious if you could do some sort of long term rearrangement of vocabulary use simply by slowly removing terms from various spellchecks, encouraging people to retry with a supported synonym until the word falls out of use entirely, and if someone's already trying this out.

I never tried Vista nor Windows 7, so I don't know too much about those yet. Also, I actually think anything is better than Windows ME, heh. *whistles*

I have not used Windows ME, but at least it didn't require two gigs of memory just to (crappily) run. XP ran great on a half gig, Vista fails to run on four times as much. (And eats any extra you give it.) I'd hate it marginally less if it sucked but did that sucking on a relatively small budget, since at least I could pretend it was sucking do to innate limitations and not the designers deliberately fucking me over.

(And then adds insult to injury by doing everything in its power to keep me away from actually modifying how the computer works. Because clearly the programmers know more than me.)
