When I created an animal class, and the duck subclass went "quack" and the cow went "moo"; when I said they should "speak". (Clipper, I think; can't remember. That or VB or VFP).
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Days when even a horse loses it's tail? Bull! (7)
A horse - EQUINE - loses tail => EQUIN
Bull => OX
===============================================
Days when even => EQUINOX

I like it, but my understanding--though I'm no expert in this--is that setting off "Bull!" is a second definition indicator, not a suffix indicator.

Myself not an expert for sure.
My understanding over the years, aim for more structured meaningful sentence. Sometimes there might be hidden clues but not necessarily always.
(I personally have never seen/read in terms of indicators)
Open for experts to share their thoughts.

The exclamation mark isn't required and is indeed misleading after bull, if anything it should have been a question mark. You should also have indicated that the answer was a combination of tailess horse and bull ? ( the question mark would indicate another name for a bull ) Equinox ? why even days ?

equinox = equal length days/nights; i.e. days + nights are even in length.
Good clue; I liked it, got that horse was likely to be equine but only had a few minutes and had to go out before thinking about it more.

You were speaking about a sopran singing in the background in one of your lasts SOTW... I recommend you to check:
Dos Brains - Elements
or
Dwayne Ford - Dragon Fire

I've been recommending all sorts of music for years, most of all metal.
I mention a background soprano once and now I'm the background-soprano-guy? 
Really cool music though!
Especially Dos Brains.
Too bad I can't find any information on them.
They did release nine(!) albums on Spotify this year alone and another ten(!!!) in 2019 
Apparently, it's the work of Dirk Ehlert, so I guess Dos Brains is his professional moniker?
Although both Dos Brains and Dirk Ehlert are on Spotify.
Elements is under Dirk Ehlert's discography, not Dos Brains'.
He writes movie soundtracks, but I guess that's kind of obvious from the music
Really cool, thanks for sharing!

I found that the singer is Úyanga Bold (never heard of her before)

I've been using Microsoft Word since at least 1995.
I was just attempting to do a Search / Replace and I (of course) hit Ctrl-F (find).
Of course, Microsoft in there infinite wisdom has changed that to show some Navigate option thing which is useless (see this snapshot[^]).
I'm not sure what the even does. Navigate on a word? What kind of garbage is that? Useless.
Search / Replace: Nowhere To Be Found
Where is search or search replace? Ctrl-F means FIND in almost every editor known to humans.
I literally couldn't find it on the Ribbon Bar, in the menus...nowhere.
I finally had to search the web to find out how to search / replace[^].
They changed it to CTRL-H -- After 30 years of CTRL-F!?!
CTRL-H ??? CTRL-H!!! You Freaking Monsters Changed it to CTRL-H!!!
I'm done!!

In MS Word: It shows all instances of your search word/phrase, without having to scroll through a 40 page document. I like it!
Never really had to perform replace in MS Word before, so no comment there.

Thanks for the explanation of that. I was totally confused about it. Also, it's good to hear an alternative viewpoint. I'm just so shocked that CTRL-F is replaced. It's confusing to an old guy like me.

Too be honest, it was confusing to me at first as well. Company pushed out the latest version of office and a lot had changed with little to no warning.
Frustrating, I know. I just try to roll with the punches.
Also, I am almost 50 myself, so not a spring chicken anymore.

Except in an Outlook email, where it's a shortcut for forwarding. 
EDIT: I should have read the next post! But I still want to vent my !

You ever tried ^F in Outlook - Forward, not Find

It's worse than that.
Yeah, Ctrl + F is for Forward but only if you are just reading a mail.
If you are replying to it (so in edit mode) then Ctrl + F is Find.
