"Last year we had the politically charged question of Obama and Osama then later the omission of Michael Palin (or was it Sarah Palin?) from the Word dictionary.
We’ve noticed another one that will offend Democrats and Star Trek fans, perhaps in equal measure.
Type Klingon into Word 2007 or Word 2003 (US English) – you’ll get a red squiggly line. That’s bad enough – you’d think there were more Trekkies/Trekkers at Microsoft to have noticed that dictionary omission
Right-click on Klingon and see the first suggested alternative:
Clinton
There you have it – proof at last of a link between the Bill Clinton, the current US Secretary of State and the most warlike species in Federation Territory. And it’s confirmed by Microsoft itself – so it must be true
Obviously we’re kidding – no complaints please. "
