I think people have a right to their own way of working, and you don't 
have a say in that.

You allusion that the feature is unnecessary for anything real not only 
decides what other people should do or not do, but clearly also states 
that the ones who have implemented it in the first place, or those who 
have come before and have created such features for as long as computers 
exist, must clearly be in the wrong and now you know the real truth, 
because it doesn't exist in LibreOffice, so that must be right.

Right?

Common sense is clearly defunct here again.

Your argument has the form of "It doesn't exist now, so you don't really 
need it" as if the past choices of developers are always right, and 
current complaints, never are.

And your statement really comes down to what they call bigotry, sorry to 
say so. You basically say that, because some developer has not sought 
fit to create it, and developers are the authority in all things, and 
more bright than you and me combined, it must follow that there is then 
also not a need for it.

This is not logic, but it is dependence on some authority that is always 
right, no matter what. It is bigotry and depending on and believing in 
the infallibility of some historical authority much like people believed 
the Bible was always right and if it wasn't in the bible, it isn't so.

Now you say "It is not in the product, so you don't need it".

Regardless of that fact that pretty much every other product, that are 
usually not even word processors, always do.

LibreOffice stands alone in this, completely. Speak to me of your common 
sense, again.


Also there is not actually any such option in the version I use.

I could screenshot it, but yeah, it's not there in 5.1.2, of the Ubuntu 
version I am using that comes with 16.04.

Regards.
