When I started out on my post on Pachelbel he was, in spite of being dead a few hundred years, in pretty good nick. Now it has come to my attention that he is not well. Worse, he has undergone a frightful transformation. ‘Transmogrified’ is the word.
Literal minded, know nothing, bossy auto-correct is the villain.
Whenever I wrote ‘Pachelbel,’ auto-correct fiercely underlined it with red, saying, No, No, that is not a word.[it is doing it now]. Then what word am I after? I asked. The word you are after it asserted was — wait for it! — ‘Bellyache’. What? Are you mad? I said. How do you get ‘Bellyache’ out of ‘Pachelbel’? Auto-correct became belligerent and I’m sad to report we came to fisticuffs. Finally bruised and black-eyed I over-rode auto-correct. There was no way soothing Pachelbel would become painful Bellyache! Afterwards though I did have a good belly-laugh over it.
Auto-correct is no longer speaking to me.
Have you had similar problems with auto-correct?

All the time. Problem is that when you are tired your brain doesn’t pick up the subtle changes.

My auto correct is always changing things on my text messages. It is such a nuisance. If I am texting in a hurry it I don’t always see the changes it makes and it insists on offering alternatives to the words I am typing so if I don’t deliberately click on the the word I typed it selects the alternative it has chosen instead.

that’s true; perhaps I was being a bit hasty: I’m sure auto-correct means well 🙂

Auto-correct doesn’t recognize 75% of my characters’ names. We fight constantly.

It doesn’t recognise half of my real life friends names either.
