For me, the rant already starts with autocorrect.

I can’t overstate how much I fucking hate autocorrect, automatic text prediction, “showing results for $word” and similar systems. All of them boil down to the same thing: they butcher what I write because the software behaves like an assumptive piece of trash. And if I can’t turn this filth off, from whatever software I’m supposed to use, then I am not using it.

It gets worse. I’m a translator, so I’m often writing shit in three languages. Sometimes two within the same conversation. No matter how you configure your language preferences, autocorrect will “correct” words from one language into another.

You know, what works fine though? The squiggly red line below words not recognised by the dictionary. Or showing me potential words to complete what I’m writing, but not automatically selecting any of them. Both work fine; one shows me things I might have misspelled, another that I might want to type, but neither assumes what I want.
