My only gripe with Autocorrect is that it will sometimes take a perfectly cromulent word or sentence and change it to something that makes me sound like an imbecile.
I don't know how I feel about "cromulent" being in the dictionary now. Its sort of great that The Simpsons create this type of effect, but now it ruins the joke.
Man I went on a rabbit hole, but basically "Cromulent has crept so deep into the language that it has even shown up as a hypothetical example in a Supreme Court amicus brief."
Link to that ruling.
I was wondering if anyone would catch that.
My gripe is that it doesn't understand that non-white names are a thing.
It will not let you use basic turns of phrase. Like "turn of phrase" will get autocorrected to something else. And then you have to go back and be like, no, let me type that again so you understand, phone. All the time
