Re: App Word Gratis Pc

Gratis comes from the Latin word for "favor;" so in English a party favor is a small item given gratis to everyone attending a party. Gratis is used as both an adjective ("The drinks were gratis") and an adverb ("Drinks were served gratis"). But however it's used, it means "free".
Gratis is a synonym for free. You can find examples in the Oxford Dictionary here. Click on "More Example Sentences." It can be used as either an adjective or an adverb. But it still sounds "Latin" and "borrowed" and sometimes it is used as a novelty word to appear "educated" or to attract attention. But the average American or above average educated American can go her whole life and never find a need to write the word "gratis." Read it? Rarely.
I'm almost desperate enough at this point to make my own word processor, for my own use. But that seems completely insane, given that the year is 2022 and word processing is almost literally the first application that PCs had, and were stable in the early 1980s... Although you had to pay dearly for them, admittedly.
Also, even if I wanted to pay money, they are all about "subscriptions" and "accounts" these days, which prevent me from a philosophical standpoint to use them even if money were not a problem to me. (But it is.)
For my needs, I have found that Atom (or any other modern text editor) and Markdown gets me almost everything I need, and I can easily preview it and export it to PDF. I save immense amounts of time not messing with layout in a word processor that can't decide if it wants to be a text editor or a DTP tool.
I've found that for 90% of features and 95% of people it has all the functionality that you'd find in Microsoft Office. (Obviously estimated numbers, but based on dealing with lots of semi-technical people at a software company.)
EDIT 2: A frustration I used to have was having to go into Google Drive to create new documents but now Google has bought the ".new" domain and have enabled "docs.new", "sheets.new", "presentation.new"("slides.new" is the shorter version) etc. as shortcuts to create new documents.
All the books I have about LaTeX have been written with it. The typography is excellent. And you can embed drawings (e.g. made with Inkscape), mathematical or chemical formulaes, and with MusixTeX extensions musical scores.
My old trick for that is (in some draft document) to add some temporary text with weird punctuation or string. For example: @*@*@TO BE COMPLETED (sometimes I highlight it in red). Then you need to search the @*@*@ string. This trick does not require any capability of your word processor or document formater, beyond searching for some weird punctuation (which is your conventional one, choozen to be unlikely to appear in the definitive text). If you forgot your convention, put a post-it on your desk (or send you some email about what is remaining to be written / corrected / improved).
Look for an editor that will produce documents in a standard, widely-accepted, structured markup format which several tools can process (so not tied to a single vendor), and which is expressive enough to mark up complex prose or (technical) documents. There are basically five such formats:
Pay attention to features in the markup language which facilitate the markup of different semantic span segments, and block elements such as chapters, sections, admonitions, quotations, excerpts of terminal output (for technical documents), author and document metadata, complex tables, pixel-based and vector images, etc.
It is important to learn the keyboard shortcuts for everything, though, down to choosing DocBook elements from the offered, context-sensitive list by typing in a part of their name, as it makes you much more productive than clicking the menus and dialogs with a mouse.
I like the fact that in structured document markup, structure and semantics is everything, and the final styling (via style sheets) is something that you only worry about later, once you have produced the content. This is how it should be, especially in the modern world where there can be many ways to consume the content, and many different content styling requirements and distribution formats.
Depending on your tastes and goals, "Emacs" (google "emacs for Windows"...) has been my text editor on unix/linux for 30 years, and on Mac OS since 2006, when that OS started including many aspects of a *nix set-up.
With my set-up of it, it is not WYSIWYG at all, deliberately, because I want to see the literal characters I've entered to a file. This has been useful at times in the past when a file got slightly mangled, and I could look directly at the characters in it, rather than simply having a word-processing program declare it corrupted/unreadable.
There is one (not yet mentioned option): OnlyOffice (as a desktop version as well as online Google Docs-like one - however, the latter one is deployed on your own infrastructure, thus keeping the docs under your control). The community version includes nearly all the features apart from those like paid support etc and is fully open-source (GNU AGPL v3, here are Github repositories for the server and desktop editors).
It has a dark theme (for both desktop and online version). The interface mimics MS Office (AFAIK the goal is to achieve maximum compatibility with it), so it is easy to understand and use for those familiar with Microsoft's product.
Of course, there are some drawbacks. For example, the desktop editors are also build with Web interfaces via Electron engine (which is famous for inefficient resource usage, so it may consume a lot of RAM and CPU time). Also (as of 2022) some advanced features like bibliography management are still missing.

The terms gratis and libre may be used to categorise intellectual property like computer programs, according to the licenses and legal restrictions that cover them, especially in the free software and open source communities, as well as the broader free culture movement. For example, they are used to distinguish "freeware" (software gratis) from free software (software libre).
Free software advocate and GNU founder Richard Stallman advocates usage of the slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."[1] This basically means: "Think free as in libre, not gratis."
Gratis (/ˈɡrɑːtɪs/) in English is adopted from the various Romance and Germanic languages, ultimately descending from the plural ablative and dative form of the first-declension noun grātia in Latin. It means "free" in the sense that some goods or service is supplied without need for payment, even though it may have value.
Libre (/ˈliːbrə/) in English is adopted from the various Romance languages, ultimately descending from the Latin word līber; its origin is closely related to liberty. It denotes "the state of being free", as in "liberty" or "having freedom". The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) considers libre to be obsolete,[2] but the word has come back into limited[a] use. Unlike gratis, libre appears in few English dictionaries,[a] although there is no other English single-word adjective signifying "liberty" exclusively, without also meaning "at no monetary cost".
In software development, where the marginal cost of an additional unit is zero, it is common for developers to make software available at no cost. One of the early and basic forms of this model is called freeware. With freeware, software is licensed freely for regular use: the developer does not gain any monetary compensation.
With the advent of the free software movement, license schemes were created to give developers more freedom in terms of code sharing, commonly called open source or free and open-source software (called FLOSS, FOSS, or F/OSS). As the English adjective free does not distinguish between "for free" and "liberty", the phrases "free as in freedom of speech" (libre, free software) and "free as in free beer" (gratis, freeware) were adopted. Many in the free software movement feel strongly about the freedom to use the software, make modifications, etc., whether or not this freely usable software is to be exchanged for money. Therefore, this distinction became important.
"Free software" means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, "free software" is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech," not as in "free beer". We sometimes call it "libre software," borrowing the French or Spanish word for "free" as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.
These phrases have become common, along with gratis and libre, in the software development and computer law fields for encapsulating this distinction.[b] The distinction is similar to the distinction made in political science between positive liberty and negative liberty. Like "free beer", positive liberty promises equal access by all without cost or regard to income, of a given good (assuming the good exists). Like "free speech", negative liberty safeguards the right to use of something (in this case, speech) without regard to whether in a given case there is a cost involved for this use.[c]
In order to reflect real-world differences in the degree of open access, the distinction between gratis open access and libre open access was added in 2006 by Peter Suber and Stevan Harnad, two of the co-drafters of the original Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of open access publishing.[4] Gratis open access refers to online access free of charge (which Wikipedia indicates with the icon ), and libre open access refers to online access free of charge plus some additional re-use rights (Wikipedia icon ).[4] Libre open access is equivalent to the definition of open access in the Budapest Open Access Initiative, the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities. The re-use rights of libre OA are often specified by various specific Creative Commons licenses;[5] these almost all require attribution of authorship to the original authors.[4][6]
