In case you’d missed it, Microsoft Office has a “wokeness” editor that will flag your writing if it contains insensitive phrases.

In the same way a spellchecker looks for typos and grammar mistakes, this inclusivity editor, available to Microsoft 365 subscribers, scans your work for inappropriate terms.

We verified that the feature is already available to Microsoft 365 customers but is turned off by default.

And rather confusingly, Microsoft gives you the ability to turn off some inclusivity features while leaving others off, so you can have it check for gender bias but ignore ethnic slurs.

The spellcheck tool is available in the latest version of Microsoft Word in Microsoft 365, the company’s productivity cloud subscription service.
