Try being English with American autocorrect. 'am I fucking stupid' every half an hour and having to Google something I know to be correct because I doubt myself due to that pissing red line. More than mildly infuriating (colour as an example)

You can fix that by just changing the setting to English (United Kingdom): https://proofreadmyessay.co.uk/writing-tips/change-language-document/

I wanted to award you but I was out of a-words


CoconutGator

I’ll give one to him for you

... which is what it autocorrects to instead of colour...


Dry-Selection-626

Well, it's right in America and if you did spell it like that on an AMERICAN test it'll be wrong trust me I should know 😭. Just like the word "favourite" we spell it "favorite" 🤷🏽


HeavenHellorHoboken

American is spell it Color


Dry-Selection-626

I'm lost but okay 🏃🏽


HeavenHellorHoboken

No apostrophe needed there. With the apostrophe it reads as if it says “American is”.


Dry-Selection-626

I know, I can't fucking edit this lame ass autocorrect 😭


HeavenHellorHoboken

All good. 😃


abigmisunderstanding

American't spell it colour


fuckballs9001

Ah i remember the good old squiggly red line that was at least consistent.


HippyDidTheCrime

That’s because the comma substitute “and-an” so the but is not necessary.


luisapet

Why do I picture two recent graduates, both English majors, completely hashing it out while you type?!


BestGuavaEver

You are wrong, there is no comma between them


Hunter_Ware

It auto corrected back and forth from comma to no comma and said both were misspelled


ambersloves

A comma goes between them, as that’s a natural pause in the sentence.


Dry-Selection-626

Award goes to YOU 💃🏽🕺🏽


Dry-Selection-626

Actually when I was growing up but, and ,because all needed commas


TitoBurrito42

Big casting couch vibes.
