Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OpenOffice to be dumped in Freiburg ?

Hi :)
I tend to use Office either 
1.  as a generic term covering MS Office, LO, Gnome Office and all the rest (incl ones i don't 
know) or
2.  meaning LO (unless chatting with colleagues)

If i am chatting with colleagues and they use the term it's usually to say that something is broken 
or weird or doesn't work properly in MSO so i make them clarify which Office they are talking about 
and if they say the MS one then i grimace and shrug and maybe even vocalise the "Well what do you 
expect?  That is one of the many typical problems with MSO.  You have to either put up with it (as 
everyone else does) or use LO.  Don't worry though because no-one else will notice that mangling of 
your document because they are so familiar with that sort of thing from MSO"

Regards from
Tom :)
