I’d like to see how it handles language related aspects in German. (Average users tend to use the font type, size and effect to structure their documents.) I assume it has built in document templates and style formatting templates, functions for sectioning and all this “more advanced” stuff, and again, nobody will use it. For me, it does not look very… erm… professional… looks more like a… game…? 🙂 I’m sure you need some very up-to-date hardware to use it (NB the difference between “it runs” and “you can use it”). THe menu concept is interesting, but those who have used other “Office” versions before will encounter problems when they try to find the functions they’re looking for. The new “Office 2007” looks very colorful. I can still use files created over 10 years ago and will be able to do so in over 10 years. Working files can be shared among a group of contributors (CVS), it is platform and OS independent. Typesetting formulas and 300+ page documents is easy and always looks good. I use it at home and at work for nearly everything: letters (dinbrief), presentations, scientific papers, tests and forms.
I never had so easy a time writing a term paper than when I used it with bibtex.”Ĭan completely confirm.
Furthermore, it would suggest “a + b” because all smart software does not only report an error, but come along with the solution at once. For example, if you enter “int a, b, sum sum = a – b ”, the “semantic compiler” would throw an error, because “a – b” is not the sum of a and b. Note: The “semantic compiler” is a term for some software algorithm that reads your thoughts and knows what you want. To get back on topic, I’d like to see how “Office 2007” in its german version will handle our more than 10 deviating forms of Newspeak. They simply don’t care about how something is written, it does not matter for them. In Germany, the amount of such people is increasing.
The term “functional illiteracy” fits to those who are not able to use the means of written communication. Such a person is highly superior to any autocorrection system in a software application, because he’s a “semantic compiler”, meaning, he knows about the intention of the author which the automatic spell checker doesn’t. This person knows the respective language very well and has dictionaries available if needed. I don’t know if the term “revisor”, “editor” or “redactor” is okay for you to know what I mean the german term is “Revisor”, “Lektor” or “Korrektor”, someone who reads a book and marks (and even rewrites) the mistakes done by the original author. When secretaries and typists existed, there was another profession, too. They rely on the spell checker and make more and more mistakes because the spell checker is not a “semantic compiler”. And it’s solely because most people seem to be totally incapable of clear written communication.”įor some (professional) authors, too.
