“Autocorrect still thinks I want to say ‘duck’ 12 times a day.” OK, so how many of us still use auto-correct? It was the first feature I turned off in my text messaging app. It serves no useful purpose other than to replace misspelled words, which can be still figured out at least phonetically, with some obscure word that has no place and makes no sense to the recipient(s). Like this one: Father: OK kiddo. Daughter: have a great day! Father: When you come home this weekend, I’m going to teach you how to drink. OMG drive, not drink. Daughter: I was so excited for a moment. Father: yeah, you wish. Autocorrect can be useful, but it can also get you into trouble. Editing my book using Grammerly made numerous word usage, spelling and punctuation recommendations. It did much better than my actual editors. My book was character driven with a lot of colloquialism. They preferred I use ESL dialogue. Sorry, that’s not my audience. Stick to the script.
