I don't know. I really feel like the auto-correct features are out to get me. So many times I want to say "in" yet it gets corrected to "on", or vice-versa.

Over the past several iOS/macOS updates, I feel like I've either gotten dumber and no longer do english gooder, or I'm getting tagged by predictive text nonsense.
