*sigh*

I wish there was a way to tell my whole computer, once and forever, "do NOT ever select the whole word automatically when I am editing". When I am moving the mouse to select something, I would like to select the part I indicate, thank you, not random other things too.

Whoever invented that option and made it the default in many programs has a special circle of hell waiting, I think.

In Word for Windows, one can at least add special words (some abbreviations for military ranks, for example, really do have 2 caps at the start) to the dictionary, which will stop those words from being edited "for" you.
