Just sorta thinkin about this while writing my 15 page assignment for Business Law...

Im slowly realizing how i consistantly spell things wrong in my assignment, but never have to go back and fix it because of autocorrect. This has me sorta worried cause now i dont learn if im spelling things correctly or not... Its almost like teaching myself to spell words incorrectly...

Anyone else ever ponder this? Maybe ive just been workin on this paper too long and need a break...

Autocorrect can be a pain. While reviewing our software design documents that deal with the Horizontal Situation Indicator, or HSI, we see stuff like "HIS input buffer" instead of "HSI input buffer". Looks funny. Sounds funny.
