I don't know if this is the case for the parent post, but some people use LibreOffice while referring to it as OpenOffice.

I personally use LibreOffice quite a bit, but something about the name sounds silly to me, so I avoid speaking it. I usually refer generically to "a word processor" instead.

It is. After it being pointed out to me, I've recalled that I've been using LibreOffice for some time. Maybe I'm ignorant about the actual history, but I've always considered LibreOffice to be the continuation and rebranding of OpenOffice.
