There's been a couple of threads in various forums (forii?) I read recently about how users call everything "Microsoft" or "Windows", be it the graphical shell, Office Word, Internet Explorer, or whatever. "What are you running?" "Windows 97." "Okay, that'd be Microsoft Office, then." It occurs to me that this is something like what happens to toddlers when they get into that single word answer (often a number) for every question. I wonder if we've really got that many adults who've never progressed beyond the intellectual development of a 4 year old.
