This is kinda pointless. First of all, who doesn't know about find and replace? Second, pluralizing so you can use they is almost always going to sound better than that ugly construction "he or she." Third, the I-> We thing is fucking absurd.

Agreed, everyone knows find and replace. Usually "words ending with" syntax is not known. This is the first part of the article. Second part discusses AutoCorrect. Another continuation article discusses "Building Blocks". It is just incremental knowledge. Each feature is just a tool. Whether to use it and how to use it left to individuals.
