I’ve started seeing more shit like this, even TVs in exam rooms with ads like this.

      That would be even worse, because autocorrect is based on your typing history. My phone autocorrects “hippa” to “hips” or “HIPAA”, not the other way around. In fact, it autocorrects “hipaa” to “HIPAA”. If it’s autocorrecting in the other (incorrect) direction, that means they misspell it often enough for their autocorrect to have it noted as a pattern.

        Mine is not based on my history as I run eOS and don’t allow any form of tracking, including through the three different keyboards I run, none of which are any good.

        Someday I’ll find the one, but until then I’ll either mistype, get bad autocorrects, or have to hunt for what I thought were basic symbols.

        I just want whatever my old moto had damnit
