Here's proof that Bill Gates either has a sense of humor, or is part of
that VAST right wing conspiracy Hillary keeps talking about:
A) Open a new Microsoft Word document,
B) Type the phrase: I'd like Clinton to resign.
C) Highlight this phrase as if you were going to check for spelling
D) Select Tools -- Language --Thesaurus
E) Look at the suggested phrase

I notice my version of Word (2000) also returns Idiosyncratic. Older versions of Word (97, 95?) used to return "I'll drink to that."

Not an Easter Egg...

Just the way Word works. Any phrase that starts with "I'd..." will trigger the response "I'll drink to that."

Word 97 yields "idiosyncratic" on my system. If it doesn't find a match, it just finds the closest alphabetic match that it has. Numerous "jokes" have been passed around on things like this.
