Microsoft word update messes up exams in Denmark (www.dr.dk)

Sorry for the Danish post i hope you can translate it.

The Ministry warns that Microsoft programs can create problems for written exams for students with Mac computers.

Users who have updated the programs to the latest version may experience the programs running slowly, freezing and crashing. This means that the examinees are delayed in their work and that parts of the answers risk being lost, write the Agency for Education and Quality and the Agency for IT and Learning in a notice to schools.

Sorry for the Danish post […]

Never apologize for your own language.

Thanks! I guess foreign languages nowadays are just a minor inconvenience.

That said, apologising for sharing an article in one, is an even smaller inconvenience for me, so I can as well do it, for the sake of the few who may feel that its a huge burden

Seeing posts in languages other than my mother tongue is something that I like about Lemmy. Never be ashamed of your native language and the beautiful variety that it adds to the human experience.

Unless you're French.

Or Canadian.

But only if you're from Québec

While English is most of the time the lowest common denominator, I love to see some variety!
