Dear Autocorrect,
In these already-fatiguing times, let’s make a pact.
I won’t get mad at you for your other gaffes so long as you NEVER CORRECT A CORRECTLY-SPELLED, INTENTIONALLY-USED WORD ever again.

Stop making me wrestle with you, you over-aggressive piece of shit.
I typed “pettiest” and it got changed to “prettiest,” so I assume my phone thought, “sure, that’s a real word, but people don’t use it much, so it MUST be wrong.”
Though, considering how much money I spent on this phone, it’s within its right to assume I make poor choices.

Dear Autocorrect,
“Soda” is a real word. You do not need to change it to “sofa.”
Though I will admit that the bottle of home-brew wine I tried could have tasted like soda OR a sofa.

Dear Autocorrect,
You just changed the word “dice” —a properly-spelled, real word— into a different word, TWICE. First “ride,” then “five.”
What did dice ever do to you? What do you have against dice?

Dear Autocorrect,
Sometimes I want to be able to type “little rocks” without it being changed to “Little Rock’s,” especially since A) I guarantee I use the former more often and B) two-word autocorrections are more difficult to fix, so kindly please the fuck stop doing that.

Dear Autocorrect,
Wow, busy week for you, you fudge. I can’t type “lens” without you trying to give me “pens” or “Lena.” (????)
Sort your shirt out.

Dear Autocorrect,
Now you seem to want to replace literally every instance of “tall” with “y’all,” and while I’m happy you’ve learned “y’all,” this level of enthusiasm is TOO MUCH.

Dear Autocorrect,
“Lulled” is an honest-to-goodness, real, correctly-spelled word, you do not have to DEMAND that it be “corrected” to “pulled.”
Thanks and fuck you,
Tony

Dear Autocorrect,
After you changed “nature”—another correctly-spelled, properly used word—to “mature,” I thought you would un-correct your “correction” after you noticed that a “mature walk” is less of a thing than a “nature walk,” but oh what a fool I am.
Die in a fire,
Tony

Dear Autocorrect,
Did you not get my earlier missive about “y’all” versus “tall?”
Still your enemy,

Dear Autocorrect,
Just like “pettiest” versus “prettiest,” you replaced a perfectly good word - “poring” - with “pouring.”
Similar situation, I get it. “Poring” is an uncommon word. But you did it five words later, and didn’t tell me. At least TELL ME.
I still hate you.
