    I dislike these chatty messages as well! We? - there aren't little people living inside my computer, it's made of inanimate silicon and plastic.

    I wonder what it should say?
    "No f'ing mistakes, want an f'ng prize?"
    "Hey s**t for brains, you made a typo"

    No, but there was nothing wrong with the previous message:- "Word has finished checking the document, no errors found" near as dammit.... it's like MS expect everyone to be a 12 to 24-y-o facebook addict who can't use correct English (both in grammar and meaning) any more...
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    You mean someone lied to me?! Surely all the various noises a computer makes are those people inside it running around doing stuff for you, right?

    Oh, and it's not just Office that's been dumbed-down in this way...it's also Windows 8 and 10 :mad:

    Obviously Microsoft is attempting to increase our store of sublime happiness at using its products.

    Clearly this strategy has failed in the case of the OP, and others...

    Microsoft's most unhelpful error message:

    "Something Happened"

    No it F******g didn't Microsoft, something didn't happen and went wrong and tell me what the ****** it is.

    And people ask why I prefer Linux ?
