Microsoft's new features were ridiculed by the crowd.

In order to highlight the "inclusiveness", Microsoft Word document editing software has added an "inclusive language" checker, which can mark inappropriate wording during word processing, but this new feature designed to highlight "political correctness" has been widely ridiculed by netizens.

The "Russia Today" website reported on the 17th that the "error correction" tool can identify the wording with the meaning of "derogatory", and provide a relatively "appropriate" alternative to avoid users offending others with inappropriate writing on sensitive topics. For example, when a user enters "maid" on a document, the inspector provides "House Cleaner" as an alternative option; enter "mistress" and it provides a "lover" alternative. The tool is very gender-sensitive and suggests that users replace "mankind" (both "human" with "human" and "manpower" with "workforce" (both "labor" because the replaced terms above highlight "men".

Microsoft's new features were ridiculed by the crowd.
