I call it ought-to-correct.

“He Got It.”

He needs to put down his phone and pay attention

“Get on the bell … bill … bull … ball!”

“Bop”…

Heads up twit! Are we playing ball or scrolling and texting during the game?

It will be “oughta connect” here shortly.

He’ll get it soon enough

Next text: come on in, I’m pulling you out.

Autocorrect is bad, but only when we notice its flubs. We never see what it actually corrects because we read it only after it’s corrected.

Kind of like Y2K: Some people were ticked because nothing bad happened, not realizing that nothing bad happened because lots of other people worked hard to prevent it from happening.

If it’s coming up on your phone as catch the bull, I would hope that you would look up in a hurry!

I had to laugh at this one. The same thing happened to me today when I tried to text my shopper.
