The automatic spell correction is a blessing and a curse, sometimes I misspell a word and expect it to be caught then I end up spelling another word, or I spell a word it doesn’t recognize correctly and it corrects my correct spelling. More often than not it works as advertised though.

Yep, my wife got a comment on a Twitter post she made. Apparently the guy tried to write “Nice twits” and she received the message with the “w” deleted by his Iphone spell corrector.

I notice the OS X spell-check does not recognize “Obama”. It does recognize Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy, Reagan, Bush, hell it even recognizes Clinton. That spell-check software just might be on to something.
