   Oh FUCK YOU, Microsoft, what fresh hell is this? This just started turning up today. Whenever I start or click into a different paragraph. And there's apparently no way to turn off the "alert" bug in 365 for MacOS.

   Welp. Unless I can learn to ignore it, this may be the thing that pushes me over the edge into using Open Office. (Is that the current best open replacement for Word?)

     By OpenOffice do you mean libreOffice @libreoffice?

     Interface adjustment is a big part of it. Even if it's terrible, I will many times go for the thing I know that I'm fluent in, rather than try to take on something new that I have to learn.

     Spin-up costs are real, & I get frustrated very easily.
