I HATE WORD PROCESSORS!!

Seriously, Word, Wordperfect, even OpenOffice…they can all die in a fire!

All I want to do is writing something, it should be simple, but no! If I say, try to make an ordered list like:

1. This is the first thing

2. This is the second thing -

Well, doesn’t the fancy-pants word processor decide to be helpful and apply it’s OWN style to my list - not that I actually wanted it.

And lets say I need copy and paste something from an e-mail or a web page. Well…bad things seem to happen. Mr. Word Processor decides to go and MANGLE everything. If I highlight everything and click something called “Default Format” or “Format: None” that fixes it…somewhat.

I’m also aware that it’s possible to disable these “features” somehow, but really, why are they even on by default? If I want fancy formatting on an ordered list, can’t I ask for it instead of just having it handed to me?

I swear, I’m gonna writing everything in Notepad from now on.
