with "realize" to conform with US English] that setting a language was such a 
damn [Note: Microsoft Word has replaced the previous word "bloody" with "damn" 
to conform with US English] pain the ass [Note: Microsoft Word has replaced the 
previous word "arse" with "ass" to conform with US English].

"is" to conform with US English] not only the spelling police, but the language 
police too [Note: Microsoft Word has replaced the previous word "as well" with 
"too" to conform with US English]!

"suppose" to conform with US English] we Americans [Note: Microsoft Word has
