Microsoft decrees that all high-school IT teachers were wrong: Double spaces now flagged as typos in Word

Next Opportunity for some Fascism

I'm happy with this innovation; never used two spaces since WordStar came along in the late 19th century.

What I would like to see would be the automatic excision of commas in address blocks, salutations and signature blocks.

They've been deprecated since the Second World War when the Civil Service calculated that they cost more typist hours than boot polishing cost squaddies in the army, or something like that.

Not only are they a waste of time, they are really ugly. Come on Microsoft, while you've got your fascist hat on, tackle these pointless commas.
