There's a certain percentage of insufferable people on the Internet who are apparently perfect at everything they do. That's great, I'm so happy for them. We are grateful that you wish to honor us with your presence.
This discussion is not for you. Take your lofty perfection elsewhere because it doesn't help the OP. I'm sure your inboxes are full from people asking you out for a date. Help those people out.
For the rest of us feeble proletarians, there are multiple reasons why spell checking tools exist:
- fatigue
- haste
- imperfection
- ignorance
A note about the latter: to correct your own spelling, you need to know correct spelling to begin with. Not everyone does (gasp). And not just people who are writing in a language that isn't their native one (there are plenty here at TPU).
No one was born knowing the correct spelling for every single word on the planet.
Browser based spell checking tools have been around for almost as long as the web browser itself, thus 30+ years. It's not like this is a new feature built on experimental cutting edge technology.
If something like a commonly used application (a web browser) on a commonly used operating system (let's say Microsoft Windows 10) doesn't work properly, it's best to bring it up with the software developer. But if not a lot of people have complained about it, it's worth considering that maybe the problem is specific to your system or maybe that space between your two ears. I suggest a fresh installation of Windows.
It's not like this is some obscure progression bug on a $150 million videogame that came out today running on a brand new video display driver that also came out today.
And like any tool, it needs to be monitored by the user. You just can't turn on auto correct and expect it to right with 100% accuracy forever and ever.
