I have some sympathy for spelling errors as fingers sometimes fail to do what they are told ... spellcheck can help with some names ... when you first use them if you have the system to "learn" the correct spelling if it doesn't recognize the name, and thereafter catch errors My bugaboo is the overuse of "amount" ... I was taught that it is for things you can't count ... so, for example, when drinking draft from a keg it is the amount of beer I drank last night, but with bottles it is the number of beers I had last night.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Part of spelling errors are my damn auto correct. If I misspelled a name once my phone will always change my correct spelling to the erroneous one. I love and hate my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 A thread for The Lounge, but you've hooked me. 2 hours ago, GHT120 said: My bugaboo is the overuse of "amount" ...

I am right there with you on "amount" vs. "quantity". This comes up a lot for my job and it drives me absolutely bonkers. A close second for me is "bring" vs. "take." 1 hour ago, Prime Minister Koivu said: Part of spelling errors are my damn auto correct. If I misspelled a name once my phone will always change my correct spelling to the erroneous one. I love and hate my phone I'd say autocorrect does more good than harm overall, but especially as a hockey fan it is very frustrating trying to talk about players. My biggest annoyance, though, is that no matter how many times I use the word "were" it changes it to we're 90% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me, or has autocorrect gotten worse over the years? I swear my old Galaxy S2 made far more logical choices than my current phone.
