We've had autocorrect for something like 25 years now. Why is it still so bad?
We need it, because typing on a touchscreen is terrible, but as someone who is actually literate, I feel like I am being corrected by a high school student using their second language.

Just a little reminder from a white South African who lives in South Africa: the white genocide thing is a hoax by a small group of white South Africans with delusional hopes of establishing a white ethnostate. The fraudulence is illustrated by how few have taken up Trump’s refugee offer.
