There's a simple solution to the autocorrect function. Just follow these steps: 1. Turn on brain. 2. Proofread. 3. Then hit send.

The machine doesn't know what you mean; so when in doubt, it makes up things. Unfortunately, we've all been a victim of autocorrect at one time or another. Sometimes it's because folks are in a hurry; and sometimes, more often than not, it's because they either trust it to read our minds or more likely just don't care. For the latter I have no sympathy--just ask my former students.
