SeattleUte has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Default Is Word bigoted against Mormons?

My spell sheck recognizes Buddha, Jesus, Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Epicurus, Sartre, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky. But it wants me to change "Moroni" to moronic.

It didn't used to recognize "hegemonic." Now that's irony for you.

Word is not anti-Mormon per se, but it is of the anti-Christ, Microsoft.

Maybe, but it also might hate the Comoros.
