My latest favourite @fesshole entry.

”Years ago a colleague left her PC unlocked, so I set autocorrect to change the word 'customer' to 'punter'. The memory of her furiously deleting the rogue words and typing customer, only for it to immediately change back to punter still makes me chuckle."

Reminds me of a typist at the office I was at when we installed the very first networked PCs in 1990. The typing pool (remember them?) staff had to learn how to use the shitty "Cliqword" word processor and one of them found this particularly difficult. She called me one day because she said "someone" was messing with her work and changing words in her docs. She'd correct them, but when she saved the doc, the words would change again.

I went to watch her correct and save a doc. What she hadn't mentioned was that the spell checker was suggesting different words for ones that weren't in its list before it saved the docs. She wasn't reading the screen, she just kept hitting the return key unwittingly changing all the words herself. Boy, was she embarrassed when I pointed it out to her.
