LOL at the mom's text. I think they need to add ""rediculous"" to the list.

Re: Autocorrect -- the end of writing property...

Sad but true. I work in academia & have been disappointed to see a lack of basic writing skills among staff, faculty, undergrad & grad students. The most common error I see is the use of apostrophes before the letter s when the words are plural & not possessive or a contraction. I know my skills are not perfect, but I do better than many people.

I tutor ms and hs students, and they have a very casual approach to spelling. When I try to tell them a word they wrote is misspelled, they get impatient and say it doesn't matter.
