Why is Apache clinging to OpenOffice?
I'm a native French speaker and when speaking English, I just say "Office" because LibreOffice sounds weird. And for similar reasons, I never say "I used The Gimp". I do very much appreciate both projects. Naming is hard.

the gimp is just exceptionally awful, and was apparently intentionally named after the gimp from pulp fiction, which makes it even worse
