While we are at it lets change:

* Bullets to "Happy Dots"

* Forcing paragraphs to another page to "enabling a paragraph to have its
own page"

* Strike-out to "lets keep this text here for reference"

* Bad break to "unfortunate sentence placement"

As Susan Pouter said: Stop The Insanity!

While we're at it, I guess we need to find substitutes for these words that
must offend somebody out there:
* FAT, as in file allocation table
* Short, as in short circuit
* Thin, as in thin client
* UNIX, spelling is okay but we have to change the pronunciation
* SCSI, it just sounds dirty, right?
* Heterogeneous systems
* Homogeneous systems
