Because you didn’t proofread. Don’t blame technology for your shortcomings.
[No, I’m not an apple fanboy. I just hate the excuse “It happened on its own”]
If you proofread before hitting send or submit then autocorrect learns from that.
He's right. Always blame your parents.
This isn't exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I'm a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I'll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.
Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.
OP made it very clear in this very thread that they know the difference.
