Self spell checking and suggestion search boxes... lol

Those are among the WORST (after spam and pop-up ads). The self-spell checking is biased against older, standard usages, and the "suggestion search boxes" are often comically wrong. I find it irritating that I have to constantly search again with "verbatim" turned on, because the search engine thoughtfully decided that I didn't mean what I typed.

Or when you type "going to" and the phone changes it to the illiterate-looking "gonna". I could strangle someone over that one!
