Auto Incorrect

 I'm sick of auto correct. It corrects nothing.

There are currently 8.2 billion people on Earth. Of those, 7.2 billion are estimated to be mobile phone users. Even though I didn't personally own a mobile until I was practically an adult, the first device became available to the public in 1973 (before I even existed, lol). That's 52 years to develop and perfect autocorrect. 

Granted, we weren't typing away on tiny super computers that fit into our pockets until '96. But autocorrect became available in '93, initially for computers, later for phones.

So am I wrong to think it's high time autocorrect worked a little... better? Instead, it only seems to have gotten worse, suggesting random replacements nowhere near in the realm of the intended word, even when only one letter is off and a first grader could guess what the correct word should be. Or failing to capitalize proper nouns and instead opting to capitalize things like articles mid-sentence. Okay?? 

It feels like autocorrect was a precursor to ai. Like it was meant to be an intuitive assistant that made tasks easier. Buuuuut...

Maybe it's me. Maybe in the process of personalizing the functions on my devices, I switched them into silly mode. Just now, I had to fix the word "me" at the end of the sentence three times, because autocorrect kept changing it to "Mr.". What? And yes I do also have Grammerly turned on. Could be me typing too fast and not proofreading enough. 

Anyway, I'm off to search "how to improve my autocorrect", hoping the words won't be switched to something like "how to deep fry my sneakers".
