Does anyone else experience strange word-changes when they post? I write pretty much all day, mostly on my central tasks but occasionally over here in the browser, and I am not prone to mistyping words. I catch 99% of typoes and misspellings because it’s what I do, and I don’t have any habits of typing wrong words.
But in nearly every post here, and in many I see, there are ‘wrong words’ like *then *for the, *one *for on, *every *for *ever *and even more outlandish examples. I am pretty sure I am not mistyping and missing the mistake - I don’t see it in any of the open long documents I’m working on - but there they are in any 2 out of 3-4 posts I make. And, as I said, I see this kind of error in others’s posts as well.
Does anyone else experience this? (Carefully proofs post and reaches for the submit button…)
Yes, I think on the Mac there’s even a system-wide autocorrect available to programs. I’ve had things corrected in my text editor, for example. But it’s probably the browser.
(Is there a way to manage or purge the local auto-correct lists? I don’t want it learning my mistakes…)
