Autocorrect makes me crazy, always trying to improve on my pretty-perfect spelling. Like substituting the word ‘ass’ for ‘asp.’ Now why would it even bother?! Does it think I picked the wrong animal? And how will children ever learn to spell when Autocorrect cleans up after them? I have an editor’s eye for misspellings though I’ve never been an editor. And I used to be a pretty-great speller, though I never entered a spelling bee. But lately I find myself reverting to old mnemonics like “i before e, except after c…” before I risk putting pen to paper.
