Greg T Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 In the license agreement: "WARRANTIES AND LIMITS OF LIABILITY 20. NOTHING IN THIS LICENCE SHALL OPERATE TO EXCLUDE OR LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY FOR: a. DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY ITS NEGLIGENCE; " ^ They also misspelled license in the agreement. I'm installing trial version of Publisher while I wait for Friday to buy product. Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agreement is in UK English, where that is a correct spelling. Regarding death: Suppose you prepared a set of instructions using Publisher, and printed them or exported as a PDF, and for some reason it dropped the statement "but before you push that button, make sure to put on your hard hat". And then someone read the instructions, and pushed the button without wearing their hard hat, and died.

Horseflesh Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Based on some other posts in this forum, it seems like a person who suddenly realized that we still lack support for right-to-left writing, or new font formats, or DDS files might have a massive rage stroke and drop dead. I imagine for every angry post we see about a missing feature there may be a dozen more bodies in office chairs, their faces frozen in a terminal snarl. Be careful, folks. Software kills. loukash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or rather, the licence agreement is in UK English, where that is the only correct spelling! In UK English the noun is consistently spelled/spelt with a ‘c’ and the verb is consistently spelled/spelt with an ‘s’ regardless of the root word, while/whilst in US English it varies. UK English: licence (noun), license (verb) US English: license (noun), license (verb) UK English: practice (noun), practise (verb) US English: practice (noun), practice (verb) UK English: defence, offence (nouns) US English: defense, offense (nouns) William Overington 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
