I enjoy the exposure to different technical / cultural / scientific vocabularies on here. As someone on the spectrum, I read much of that technical lingo as expression of passion.
I find such passion heartening.
I love learning new things, about the world and about humans. Though mostly about the world lol. Lichens, cicadas, tardigrades, megafauna, quasars....

I cannot find a way to reliably set the default language of Office 365 to British English. No matter how deep I go into even the Normal templates, there will always be moments when it will revert to US English (any software update will mess it up for sure). Outlook is especially pesky, but overall, Microsoft really misses the mark for being a truly global brand, respectful of the vast majority of its users that are non-US.
