(Honestly, the sheer number of redlined words in my posts at the college is staggering. Amusingly, only one or two are ever really misspelled.)

The OO.O spreadsheet's autocomplete is really annoying as well. I have a series of spreadsheets in which one column has the heading "2W" and I often have to put a 2 into that column, which the damn program changes into a 2W.

I don't use spreadsheets or word processor programs (yet), so I wouldn't know

And I would disable it if I could find the damn option to disable it! I thought I found it, but it didn't work, it was probably the option to turn off teh->the.

And renaming the column wouldn't work either...it needs to be narrow so I can't spell it out, and TW (T = Two) won't work as there's already a TW column.

Whoa, 666th post? Bwahahhahahahhahahhaha! *takes over the world*

Read the helpfile, search for "autocomplete"

The only real word processor I use is Wordpad and that's just for one thing (terms/concepts for my Psych101). Past that, I just use standard text editors (EditPlus) for coding and other crap.

Then again, I've never really had a reason to use a word-processor

They don't here either. After getting side-tracked into a small argument with my German teacher over another student's coursework (which was written in a horrible semi-cursive font), I demonstratively printed a three-page interpretation in a decorative fountain pen font. It was accepted, though the teacher was pissed off (which kind of was the effect I was up to achieve anyway).

Meh, maybe. It'd require a lot of "figuring out what to put into it" though.

You forgot the obvious "don't post r0mz" on your FAQ.

A link to the FAQ on the third incarnation archive should be added to the headlinks. That outdated FAQ can be a placeholder until a new FAQ is written.

Why not put up the FAQ on Acmlmwiki.

Note that editing FAQ to get away with a rule should be a offence. And people shouldn't add rules because it happens to fit to them. :/
