I thought a good shake of the peppermill would make a difference, but scrambled eggs are just bland without a pinch of salt.
My autocorrect suggested peppermint instead of peppermill, so there's a thought for the future.

Bei korrigiern geht es doch auch
#psa I'm systematically turning off autocorrect. As an #author, it's become increasingly evident that the word choices autocorrect makes to correct misspellings are dependent on a weakness of #AI. Whatever your feelings about the tool, without curation, machine learning uses frequency of occurrence to make choices once it matches patterns from your input. It picks trending words, not necessarily your words from your individual vocabulary. On the #Apple Platform with Apple Intelligence turned off, autocorrect does not learn from my word choices as an #sf and #fantasy writer; it inserts words from the Internet (my best guess) that most frequently correct the misspelling I've presented it.
This leads to frequently inserting a correctly spelled wrong word. I'm a touch typist; I don't look while writing. If I miss similar sounding words during revision, I can end up writing things unintended and, often enough, embarrassing.
This is why I am turning autocorrect off.
Fortunately, misspellings are still underlined in red.

Probably most people writing & taking note of autocorrect ‘suggestions’ have noticed something like this (at the least, bias in what’s suggested). This research seems like a really interesting, extremely important, original study & it’s distressing that (from the abstract):
“ the influence of the AI writing assistant was stronger than the influence of similar suggestions presented as static text, showing that the influence is not fully explained by these suggestions, increasing accessibility of the biased information. Last, warning participants about assistants’ bias before or after exposure does not mitigate the attitude-shift effect.”

Cross The Toad?
Why did the chicken cross the toad? Because it was a poor typist!Question eOS, ou Android j'en sais trop rien. J'ai désactivé le correcteur orthographique dans les paramètres mais en fait ça me corrige toujours. Il y a des menus cachés par application ? Une formule magique à prononcer un soir de pleine lune ?
C'est soûlant quand j'écris "re" et qu'il corrige en "le" 👿
Le repartage éloigne la canicule.
If autocorrect is powered by artificial intelligence, I would argue that it is really powered by artificial ignorance.
