Microsoft Word added a entire section of 'inclusiveness' checks to its grammar and spell check a few years back and most of them are on by default (doesn't replace a sensitivity reader but reinforces what org policy should already say as people are typing)
I did not know this! None of it was turned on for me on my work computer. I've turned most of it on - going to see what it does for my writing.
Finally, a reason to actually like Word! [/alasWordperfect]
Is it any better than the rest of their grammar check? I turned mine off in the last iteration because it started giving me incorrect "corrections."
