MS Word 2000 is offensive to lesbians, according to an annoyed geologist. Essentially the grammar checker automatically assumes "dyke" is supposed to mean "lesbian" as opposed to any of the legitimate forms of the word. In Word 2000, if you type "the dykes which cut the granite are 2m wide," the grammar checker will change it to "the dykes who cut the granite are 2m wide."
