Google Docs Fail

For the longest time, I've had a beef with Google Docs.  There's nothing that irritates me more than a a program whose default setting is Arial, font size 11.  Excuse you! I can't think of anything more idiotic than a default which is not the Times New Roman, font size 12 format, which is the most widely used font for school-related work.  Equally aggravating is the Calibri, font size 11 default for Word.  The two of them can both go to typography hell.  If they were physical manifestations, I wouldn't put it past myself to pummel the ink out of those fonts with a baseball bat, and then throw them into the lake right by the shoreline of my backyard and watch them sink into the murky depths.

I was doing some writing in Google Docs.  There appears to be no page jump feature, and for that matter, I had to manually add pages.  The copy paste feature is tedious.  In other words, I have actually discovered something more annoying than the newer versions of Word.  As impossible as it sounds, I have discovered something at least as horrendous as the ugly font.  Google Docs seems to enjoy randomly underlining words in red even if they are correct, or even before I've finished typing the damn word.  Today was the final straw: 


No, I did not mean that, Google Docs, nor is it correct to use the plural form of "human" when I have clearly marked it as singular.  You are officially On Notice for these atrocities.
