    Was going to post in the Web site subsection, but it is not really a question or concern.,,,

    But, a bit ago, posted a new thread and as I hit "create" noticed I had misspelled a word. So, I went back to edit the post and found PC had corrected the typo on its own.

    Also, a few days ago, in a post, I called myself a lazy "donkey." Well, not really a donkey, but a word that rhymes with mass.

    Well, PC changed "donkey" to nice. So, in the post i called myself a lazy "nice" person.

    Wonder if that was the big change Danny touted a month or so ago,,,,

    It's been changing that word to "nice person" for years. There are a few other similar substitutions. I don't remember the others offhand.

    Huh. Well, I never called myself a "nice person" on here before, although I am sure lots of other folks have called me that. And, most assuredly, it is certainly a valid observation.(y)

    It preserves more scientific notation like bovine fecal matter.

    Bit tricky to know just what scientific notation to use here. The word in question can refer directly to an individual of Equus africanus asinus or, alternatively, it can refer to an anatomical part. Sometimes, specifically, one of those parts on an Equus ferus individual, but sometimes used less specifically.
