@DrPen @Seetee I think just “document” works.

@whybird @DrPen @Seetee I agree with this. I only want add that we got here because of the time when only a proprietary program could open certain file extensions. At least this is my reasoning. Adobe had pdf locked down and M$ Word had word file extensions locked in, etc. Breaking this habit will be hard.

@whybird @DrPen @Seetee Back in the day Word and its competitors were collectively known as word processors. In fact, before PCs were affordable to most and as a stop gap between typewriters and the PC there were computers in the 80s that were collectively known as word processors. Glorified typewriters with little memory and with spell checking capabilities they wrote many a term paper back when.
