Autocorrect

Okay, here it goes, I hate autocorrect. I know that might not come as a shock to a lot of people that someone on this earth hates autocorrect, but lets step back a second and think about this, autocorrect can ruin everything. 

Don't get me wrong, I seem to be (although very rarely) one of those people who would be lost without autocorrect, whose only chance to keep up with the rest of the world in conversation without the spelling and grammar freaks chasing after them. But let's get one thing clear, while it does save time, I almost feel as though it makes us lazy, just plain lazy. How many times have you typed something into your phone to see if you spelled a word correctly? Moreover, how many times have you read a questionable text? 

Time to approach this in a relatively organized manner;

Ask yourself this, how many words can you type a sentence on a cell phone, how about two? Are you actually typing every word or is autocorrect correcting your spelling? How many times have you found that while you're trying to type one word, a completely unrelated word rears its ugly head, it happens, and how many times have you found yourself trying to correct autocorrect?

I guess what I'm trying to say here is that no matter how hard you try it’s almost impossible to make autocorrect see eye to eye with you.

My second point here is this, it makes people lazy now granted although I am a nerd when it comes to spelling and words and things like that, what gets me is that I would be lost without autocorrect jumping in, and yes, if my laptop isn’t close by then I use my phone to check spelling of words we have in common with the U.S, still does that not make us just the laziest people? We don’t try to be but, it’s there haunting us, the fact that we’re too lazy to look in a dictionary.

Granted some funny things can come of it, for instance, just the other day said “See you Klingon..” Now I wasn’t sure if she was calling me a Klingon or if she meant “See you tomorrow” It turns out it was the latter, but you would think that maybe, just maybe we would do a grammar check ourselves to make sure that none of what I just mentioned happens to us instead of just relying on computers.
