End of the semeser time...means lots of writing. Basically, I'm sick and tired of Microsoft Word recognizing "English" last names like "Moore" and "Taylor" and "Brown", but telling me that my last name is spelled WRONG (my last name is Russian). Honestly, what the hell? I don't care if Word doesn't recognize it, but stop offering me insulting alternate spellings. Aren't we a melting pot over here in America? I know you can teach the Word dictionary your name, and of course I have, but it just irks me that we (those of us with more ethnic last names) get red underlines. I demand a solution.

Microsoft Word practices ethno-biased-exclusionism
