FAIL: AUTOCORRECT!


The title alone gives off the signal of being something that we all go through everyday. It’s like an unhackable life cheat that makes communicating harder and harder.

Actually, an assortment of competing algorithms is at work. Autocorrect is not a single entity but a hodgepodge, from different vendors, chief among them Apple, Google and Microsoft. All their algorithms start with the low-hanging fruit. They know what to do when you type “hte.” After that, their goals vary, and so do their capabilities. On most devices and applications, Autocorrect can be switched off, for those who prefer to go naked. It’s not always easy to find the switch. On mobile phones, where our elephant thumbs tramp across tiny keypads, the idea is to free us from backtracking and drudgery. The iPhone’s Autocorrect function loves to insert apostrophes. You can rely on it: type “dont” and get “don’t.” Type “cant” and get “can’t” — but is that what you wanted? Autocorrect is just playing the odds. Even “ill” turns to “I’ll” and “id” to “I’d”.

Oh wait, Mickey raised his hand to give his few words well show you how the autocorrect can be misinterpreted the wrong way.

Synopsis:

Autocorrect is the single most annoying thing that is bound to make you come off like a pervert every time.
