St Louis Vuitton

The spellchecker seems to mock me, prompting me to add “Vuitton” whenever I write “St Louis.”

    My spell checker finally admitted defeat a few months ago and stopped auto-correcting ‘fucking’ to ‘ducking’.

    No, Mr. Android, it’s fucking. Always fucking.

      I hate the prissiness of the spellchecker.

        At least the spellchecker has a little class.

          Yes, it’s a very chic spellchecker that sees a Vuitton in every Louis.

    Is this influenced by your usage?

    If so, I would imagine that mine would correct to

    St Louis Blues

    or St Louis Woman

      It definitely isn’t because when did I ever mention Louis Vuitton? The word “sucks” after St Louis would make more sense.

    St. Louis Vuitton of tacky luggage. LMAO. Auto correct, spell check and predictive text programs never seem to have no idea what my idiosyncratic usage is.

    What research have people done on how the existence of auto-correct and predictive text subtly change text patterns?

      Some spellcheckers are worse than others. One was so bad, it couldn’t remember the word Putinoids for a month. I had to uninstal it.
