Microsoft Word text selection in dark mode is... too subtle
Thanks @Spirtirs for the video
Anyone knows why Microsoft made it impossible to draw straight arrows in Word? What’s the thinking behind this?

I'm not sure if this is universal or Mac-specific. Alt+arrow moves the cursor one "word" at a time. What's considered a "word" is a different and a somewhat difficult topic, but whatever the word is, it should be consistent in all directions.
But it's not!
If I do X jumps forward and X jumps backward I might end up in a different position, not the one I started in. Thanks to quotation marks and other symbols that break the consistency of words' borders.
I can't quite understand this because it only happens sometimes. iOS autocorrect often assumes that the correct word is a name of some sort. When I write "helen" and press space, iOS changes it to "Helen". I then immediately delete it, and once the cursor is placed at the initial position, the next letter I type is capitalized! The shift button is pressed by iOS.
Why? I mean, I explicitly declined the suggestion — deleted the whole word. But the capitalization part of the suggestion remains, even if I then type a completely different word.
This is Hertz's customer satisfaction survey that uses the Inmoment platform.
Free-form fields have a quaint detail strength meter on the side that really is just a word counter. I can't figure out if it's useless and stupid, or whether it's genius.
When you ask a person "What was your experience?", many people will just opt for a one-word answer, "Bad", or "Meh", or "It was ok I guess". So the problem a survey designer faces is, how do you make a person write more than one or two words? For a technically savvy person a word counter disguised like this looks stupid. But is it though?
How to open this stream if I want to watch it?
The word “stream” in the text on the left is a link. Isn’t it obvious?
To be honest, I'm not worried about losing this "draft" at all, Twitter. I didn't write a single word, I just clicked "Tweet" while on someone's profile page.
Apparently full exact text match is weighted less that 4 out of 5 letters match, half a word matched, but “Made by Apple”.
Thx @sl_remy for the picture
Oh, the thrill of clicking “Remove App” (RED! DANGER!) only to remove it from the home screen.
Comparable only to closing the MS Word without saving the document, counting on “Do you want to save” dialog to appear.
I wonder why Apple feels the urge to group many settings into exactly two things. Especially now, when the whole list is scrollable and space isn’t the problem. Understanding & finding single word is much easier than group of two
