Default MICROSOFT WORD SHOULD NOT BE RACIST

For what it's worth, Microsoft Word does automatically capitalize
"moslem", which was the common English spelling until maybe 10 or
15 years ago I think. Word apparently hasn't caught up with
political correctness in this regard.

If you feel so strongly that "muslim" should be capitalized, then
I think you should type it that way to begin with as a matter of
principle, or you can add a plain-text AutoCorrect entry to Word
to automatically change "muslim" to "Muslim".

When I enter the word "Muslim" in lower-case in Microsoft word, it does not
automatically capitilize it. However, when I enter any other faith, like
Christianity, or Judaism, or even Hinduism, it automatically capitilizes the
word. I would like to know why this is. I'd appreciate a quick response or
else I will go to the media.
