FTFY. Apparently, you are someone who actually takes this sort of thing seriously.

It's not about taking it seriously or not. It's not even about liking Microsoft or not. It's about keeping conversations interesting by avoiding dropping back to memes and in-jokes that pepper many other places on the internet for discussions. And that includes the 'Fixed that for you' meme, as well as M$ or others like 'fanboi'.
