Autocorrecting Life

Mac OSX autocorrect is invisibly great when it's switching "teh" to "the." It's infuriating when you are fighting it over the spelling of a word it doesn't think you actually mean to use.

And then, rarely, like that stopped clock briefly showing the correct time, it is wise. Like this morning, when it insisted that my "freefall" (it just did it again) is actually "freewill."

Thank you autocorrect for reminding me that I have a choice.
