Wordpad is shit. Wordpad sucks.
Using Wordpad is a way to say to the world, "Look at me! I'm too cheap to buy Office or Wordperfect, so I'm just going to take this measly word processor that has come standard with Windows since 1998 so I that I can bold and italisice my text. I can't run the document through a spell-checker (because I'm pretty sure I just misspelled 'italisice'; holy shit I think I just mispelled it again... come to think of it I think I just misspelled "misspelled" and that is just so ironic it makes me want to set fire to my own hair) and my life has absolutely no meaning."
Note to self: Find out later if "misspelled" is hyphenated.
That's the kind of thing you have to do when you're using Wordpad. It's like, constant research. If I wanted to actually work, I'd hire a Mexican. "Jesus Christ, (you horrible racist) couldn't somebody else do all of this work for me? Hasn't somebody else already done all of this work for me?" Is something you might often say to yourself while using Wordpad. Well, the answer is, yes. But then you'd actually have to pay for it.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: "Wordpad has that binocular icon on top which I think is cool. Notepad doesn't have that."
A: That is not a question.
Q: "Ummm, okay. But I think you knew what I meant. Anyhow, moving along, you said before that you can't edit HTML in Wordpad. I have since found out that you were butt-ass wrong about that."
A: That is not a question.
Q: "Okay, you want a question? Here's a question: How about if I just kick your ass?"
A: I wouldn't like that.
In conclusion, dear Uberers, who are probably eager for my final rating of this product;
Wordpad is shit.
This reviewer gives it
NO STARS.
You CAN insert images into Wordpad, but there is no need in this case, because Wordpad sucks.
(Meanwhile, I spelled reviewer wrong because I can't spell-check; a result of Wordpad being so awful.)
VIVA MEXICO! AND NOTEPAD!

Last night, I dreamed of the three weird sisters, but I can't remember what they said to me. Shame, really.

I'm fairly certain Wordpad was included with Windows 95 before they called it Windows 98 X Edition, but I can't be certain without dusting off the Pentium MMX box and hooking it up, which I'm not about to do. It should also be noted that Wordpad won't let you play pinball like Microsoft Word will, but that may or may not be a good thing, as planting easter eggs suggets somebody wasn't spending time on programming the application they were working on.

Okay Yams, what you have there looks to me like ACCURATE INFORMATION. That is the enemy of the common BLT ubersite post.

Wordpad is to notepad what Word is to Wordpad; Horrible bloatware.

On the other hand, Wordpad does provide some rudimentary functions of word processing, such as text alignment and the ability to set tabs. And you can turn the text different colors. Shit I love colors. Don't even get me started on fonts, Wordpad has at least half a dozen of them.
Now there was one time, when I was stranded in the Canadian wilderness, that I actually had to use my own blood to write my next post on pieces of tree bark, and I tied them together with hairs from my own beard to keep them organized. What a nightmare, I swear if you ever have to do that you'll appreciate even Wordpad.
