Everyone: please delete

    Who out there pressing delete backspace delete like some sort of nitwit who hasn’t typed before?

    Backspace deletes previous character.

    Delete deletes next character.

        Seriously. One eventually learns most of the ways that Word breaks reality itself to provide mediocre desktop publishing and organizational features in an upjumped text editor, but sometimes you just spam vaguely related keys until it sorta works.
