Pet Peeves ver. Fjones vs Redleader

Is there some irony in the fact that the I.E. spell checker seems to have been invented BEFORE the internet was invented?

How else do you explain the fact that it does not recognize "online" as a word and always wants to change it to "on line?"
It doesn't like "internet" either. WHAT THE FUCK!??????

^^^Hahaha you mess with this guys poker, and you will get the horns!%)

Everybody take cover!
 
Fjones-- I think that it prefers the older, hyphenated "on-line". Few people use that any more, but I think that's probably the most correct way of spelling it.

Also, why are you using IE? Ick. ;)

Good Question. FUCK IE! What a shitty program. It fits in well though with windows and microsoft in general, both of which suck a giant dildo.
 
Speaking of pet peeves -- When I read a message on BL, why does it take 6 mouse clicks to "mark as unread?" Would it be that difficult to just have a single button to click after reading the message that accomplishes this task?

how the fuck did u determine this, lol? Did u really count the mouse clicks? I think its more disturbing if you actually did it without thinkin than if you went back to count tho. either way, LOL fjones :D
 
What the fuck is the deal with Office 2007? This is the worst program in existence. I imagine the conversation went something like this --

"Hey, we've got a great program here. What should we do for the 2007 upgrade?

"People seem to know how to use Office and all its features. That makes me feel less special. Let's show them what's what by completely redesigning it and changing how everything works, thereby making everything far more difficult."

Whichever programming fools are responsible for this idiocy should be set afire. Their ashes should then be set afire again, and then those ashes should be dumped into an active volcano.
 
New girls who come to work and think they're the fucking shit and hog and steal all your customers and then try and make friends with you.

And the managers who tell you 'I don't want to hear about girls giving new girls shit." Uhm then tell them to back the fuck off my regulars or I will fucking kick them out of their chair!
 
Fjones-- I thought that way too, until I got used to the interface. Now I find it much quicker than 2003. In my case I didn't really have a choice; I was upgraded at work and that was that. I pretty well only use Excel though, perhaps Word and the other apps are wonkier?
 
My other pet peeve-- Asian fastfood.

I was lied to both last night and the night before about the presence of animal flesh in my food...

Ahahaha are you serious? I am in love with 2007 office. I think Word is fucking awesome, makes the old version look like an outdated piece of shit IMHO.

I find the best way to get workers to really confess what's in the food they're selling is to tell them that you're highly allergic to it. They don't want a lawsuit on their hands so they'll actually tell you the truth.

Wow, I JUST figured out how to Multi-Quote. I must say, this is NOT very intuitive. I always clicked on "multi-quote this message" and nothing happened so I gave up.

Dave -- I use excel mostly, and sometimes word. I suppose if I get used to it I will find the new interface useful? I liked it the old way. Now I have to re-learn everything. I don't have a manual or a trainer. I guess I just need to tinker.

HayzzZZ - perhaps you are right, and I just haven't had enough time to adapt. One problem I seem to be having is with the line spacing. Even when set to "single" I feel like it is leaving a lot more space than previous versions.

FUCK! FUCK THIS STUPID SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK!????????????

I was just typing a long reply and ONCE AGAIN, I manged to hit SOMETHING that caused me to lose my entire post! I was 3 deep in a list of 5 pet peeves! WHAT IS IT THAT I AM HITTING!? It refreshes the page, I think. What on the keyboard causes this to happen? Please tell me so I can rip out the offending key and place it in a jar along with the already-removed caps lock, semi-colon, and "windows" keys, which have all been removed for similar reasons.
