In reply to the discussion: Congratulations Alerters [View all]tblue37
(65,644 posts)73. My autocorrect is hyperactive. It tends to choose words for me that I do not intend,
and I don't always catch the substitution before posting. In fact, even as I typed my subject line, I caught my autocorrect trying to turn "always" into "laws," and it also tried to turn "even" into "den."
The word I intended was "dumbass," but even as I tried to type this sentence, autocorrect turned it into "dumbs"--twice!
WP had called taterguy a dumbs, and I was objecting to the nasty name-calling.
With respect to the word substitutions--I think autocorrect is morphing into Skynet.
