Word (Microsoft) Easter Egg - Liberal Bias in Thesaurus

Umm... those would be the correct synonyms the words "liberal" or "conservative" have had for at least a 100 years.

I agree; it is biased. This egg isn't really an egg though; it's part of the programming, but yes, it is biased.

Jboy is right; the words "conservative" and "liberal" have non-political meanings. That's where the political meanings came from. Not all of them apply, and for the ones that do, whether they're positive or negative is a matter of opinion (for example, if you're a conservative, chances are you don't think being conservative is a bad thing).

It's biased! Conservatives ARE made to look bad; how can you not notice that? Sure, there are a few conservatives who are genuinely bad people, but there aren't as many bad conservatives as there are bad left-wingers!

Conservative and liberal aren't just political terms, they have other meanings. The dictionary isn't talking about conservative people, it's talking about the word conservative. When people call themselves conservative, they usually aren't saying that they are old fashioned, they are saying that they have conservative political beliefs. This isn't an easter egg at all, and you people are idiots.

OMG! The English language has a liberal bias!!!

lol

It's not biased. It's the dictionary definition. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal (If the link doesn't work, go to dictionary.com. Then look up conservative.)

Why don’t you look up paranoid?

1. Traditional - what’s wrong with tradition? Is Christmas not a tradition? 2. Conventional - why use an untested method? 3. Conformist - Sometimes you can’t find a fault in a system 4. Unadventurous - Safe. 5. Old-fashioned - Retro. 6. Traditionalist - See number 1. 7. Old school – Popular amongst rappers The words themselves aren’t negative. It is you who is putting on your own negative connotations. This is not a problem with the English language being bias so much as it is a sociological problem with you wanting to ostracize liberals because of the general decline in favour towards your political beliefs.
