Yes, I do indeed understand the concept of a verb. In fact, that is why I directed people to look at the ad itself. As it happens OpenOffice was never discontinued, it is still an active Apache project.

> Never mind also that OpenOffice was discontinued in 2011. Not exactly. Ownership of the project moved from oracle to apache in 2011, but OpenOffice is still around and kicking.

  “Kicking” is perhaps a charitable way to describe AOO. Indeed, people who are drowning will flail (something rescuers need be ready for). The metrics show AOO development is moribund.

    Indeed AOO is not super-active, but in comparison to Wordpad development AOO is Tokyo.
