UKM - Inappropriate Autocorrect - UK

Holofernes · 28-03-2019, 14:07

This morning I wrote a PM containing a perfectly innocent word ending in the letters n, o, n, c, e. On previewing it, I was surprised to see that these letters had been autocorrected to Gary Glitter. The same thing happened at a repeat attempt, so I had to use a different word. This may be briefly amusing but, whatever one thinks of Mr Glitter's career, such japes seem inappropriate. Would a word with the software provider be in order?

I am not sure it is teh software provider that puts in these auto corrects more to the owners or maintainers of the board.
