My favorite example is a business trip my wife took. Her surname is Hsi
which was "corrected" to His at the site she visited. Upon arrival it took
her several *hours* to work out with the security folks that Ms Hsi was not
impersonating Ms His. (That says as much about the security group as it
does about autocorrect, I suppose.)

Amen. As a dyslexic (which most often shows when

works well for me. It underlines in dotted red and lets me look at what it
thinks it should be - where I can accept it or not.
