Link is wrong.

[forrestcupp]

Adding a good grammar checker would do a lot more good than changing the UI.

[Paddy Landau]

Here's the corrected link.

Lol. You got me excited for a minute. I thought you were saying there is some new grammar checker called Automatical. I see we're still stuck with LanguageTool. It's been a long time since I've used it. I wonder if it's gotten any better.

I couldn't excess the survey link! Evrytime I trie I got the following message:

Proxy Error

What we need most is more integrity with MS office. As an example, we can take the mathematical equation writings. What I observed that, .doc and .odt doesn't support each other's equation formats.

And a good UI is necessary. Well... there are some well designed mockups (http://pauloup.deviantart.com/gallery/28216273) flying around the internet.

Sometimes, like in KDE, you end up with more clutter/options and it STILL requires more clicks than in Gnome or others....Granted, you get more control, but for the number of times you need to be that specific it would be easier to take two actions rarely and skip a step for the other 95% of the time when the default and streamlined actions are fine.

I don't like Microsoft or Windows at all, but Office 2010 is something they definitely got right. The ribbon in 2007 has NOTHING on 2010's.

I'd move to a ribbon UI similar to Office 2010. I know this wasn't the exact point of the topic, but I thought I'd say that.

To people who will tell me that I'm wrong about this- Please, if you're going to hate on the ribbon have a reason beyond "M$ sucks". I personally love the ribbon, but if you don't that's fine. It just bothers me when I hear people automatically claim something made by a certain company is bad.

As much as I enjoy bagging out Microsoft, MS Office is a brilliant piece of software. I'd really struggle if I had to use OOo/Libre in a work environment every day.

I like MS Office's ribbon. Yes it takes up more vertical space, but it feels more organized. Also get a better looking background behind the documents. Like what Office has. A gradient would work fine too.

[el_koraco]

Let's hope AbiWord doesn't introduce the ribbon, ever.

[Paddy Landau]

I like MS Office's ribbon.
I hate the ribbon -- it slowed me down terribly. That ribbon was the last straw that had me moving to OpenOffice.

I scored 17 out of 25.

I think I did it incorrectly.

I have the grammar checker on, and works great, at least for spanish spelling, which is my mother language...:???:

Spell checking is different than grammar checking. Are you using LanguageTool or something?
