Sigh. Not sure why it’s so difficult to comment on my phone vs a computer.

Small keyboard + autocorrect is just stupid. I have the same issue, and I still regularly miss typos even though I try to QC before posting. Either that or mini-strokes.
At least this was funny and easy to understand, sometimes I’m careless and it’s such complete gibberish if I come back to the comment an hour later I don’t understand what I wanted to write.

Autoincorrect can be bad enough, but speech to text can deliver some really concerning mistakes.

I don’t even try TTS, Siri is unable to grok even basic commands.

Not sure about STT (TTS is reading out articles, etc) but when it comes to autocorrect, Google seems worse. Any time a seeming typo starts getting common, I nearly always recognize it as an Android thing. Maybe Apple's autocorrect doesn't try to change your words, but Google constantly does. Just a few weeks ago the big one was changing `lets` to `let's`, to the point that I changed my wording and just used `allows` to avoid making corrections. I will see a number of posts on Reddit and occasionally here on HN with this mistake. It seems to have stopped for me around last week, but I expect a different common word will be butchered soon.

> a bit young to hit the tables
I suspect it was a typo. What he meant to type was "she hates betting when she loses".
My brother in christ 3 years old is a bit young to hit the tables.
