Office 2007 speaks Aussie

Office 2007 speaks Aussie

After conducting an online pole, Microsoft added a smattering of Aussie terms to its new Office product.

Aussies particularly wanted words like G’day, sickie, ute, trackies and bogan unchallenged. Otherwise when ever they wrote to their boss “G’day I need a sickie because I pranged the ute, tore me trackies after getting full with me bogan mates over the weekend”, the sick note was entirely underlined.

Now if only Firefox would do the same… :werr:
