What the HELL, Microsoft?!

Okay... I've been going batty trying to figure out the word count for a drabble -- in PocketWord on the handheld AND in Word on the main computer, it kept saying it was 3 words more than a manual count came up with. 100 vs. 103

Yep!

It's just... punctuation marks are not words!!! Argh!

This is why we write in TextPad.

But... but... I write in Notepad. It just doesn't have a word-count utility. And once I get over 100 words I'm not counting by hand!

Hrm. Can't use it on the Jornada, so that's a definite limiting factor there. And wow, is that what Vista looks like? Ugly! *is random now*

Oh! I hadn't noticed it doesn't run on CE. It ran on ME so I assumed it runs on everything.

*looks at screencaps* Of course, the first thing you do is turn off all the extraneous frames. Or, if you're me, the first thing you do is overwrite Microsoft's pointless resource-hogging prettifying. And then you turn off the extraneous frames.

*snerk* The idea that anything runs on ME...

[shaman_x]

I know!! So you can see why I'd expect it to run on everything. CE, XP, a Zebra, four dead fish and a pile of rocks...

Talk me out of adding HRG to TM, damn it! And tell me how "leather" got into his interests because I honestly don't remember putting that in there! O_O

*runs and hides*

Y'know, the thought of LJ being alive really is pretty damned scary...

[fluffy_mun]

But not as scary as the Master's beard.

*tries to think of a witty comeback but is done in by work-brain*

*hides some more*

[g_shadowslayer]

Um. There's a post. Where I say this, I mean. It's not just coming out of nowhere. http://g-shadowslayer.livejournal.com/163214.html

The Master's beard commands you not to!
