It always messes up my writing…..

Auto correct and I often have words about who is correct. As I have the power to unplug, I win. Sometimes it takes a while but I always win.

My red squiggles just suggest, and has pointed out some dandy errors due to fat fingers. The green squiggle usually notes an incorrect usage of a word that I would not have caught.

Ought to correct.

Does anybody remember “White Out”?

I have found the feature to be quite annoying at times.

I like Cosmo’s positive about an often frustrating feature. I’ve always wished it would highlight possible problems without arrogantly making changes.

OH, EXCELLENT!!!! Now I have ready-made excuse for typos. . .

I’m guessing he’s not the only won to notice that.

Not to mention the occasional period or comma in strange places.

I always say that ‘autocorrect’ is ‘autocorrupt’, autocorrupted.

A priest, a minister and a rabbit walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit, what are you doing here? The rabbit replies, I don’t know about the others, but I am here because of autocorrect.

Too often an embarrassing touch.

From one of my 591 .sigs (I use a database): “Autocorrect has become my worst enema.” And: “It helps if you imagine autocorrect as a tiny little elf in your phone who’s trying so hard to be helpful but is in fact quite inebriated.”

i was tweeting about my childhood the other day and autocorrect changed “Schwinn” to “Schwann” ????

Otto Connect can be a beach.

I gave up on autocorrect once and for all when I was typing “practicalities” and it prompted me for “proctocolitis.” Thanks, but no…..
