Have you ever written a message on your favorite social media site only to have autocorrect kick in? You might have carefully selected the perfect word, but autocorrect thinks it knows better, changing that word out for something that is completely wrong. But it's not just on social media that autocorrect misbehaves. Sometimes, it decides to have a field day within MS Word and other word-processing programs too.

BUT, how many times have you actually just misspelled something but blamed autocorrect? Be honest. You know you've done it at least once or twice.

Today, I thought I'd pay homage to some of the masterpiece moments of autocorrect and just plain bad spelling.

In a post last year, I spoke about the term aspiring writer and how it's a term that I dislike. Back then, I had this wonderful circular argument about how if you write, then you are a writer — no aspiring about it. Regardless, I still see an insane number of people who insist on calling themselves aspiring writers.

Back when that original post first came out, someone had commented on one of my Facebook discussion groups that the term writer referred to a person who was paid to write.

To be fair, the term applies to people who want to make a career out of writing. Writer is a professional term.

You have no idea how much my skin crawls at this concept. Clearly, my arguments using the definitions in Merrian-Webster were insufficient to get my point across. Perhaps the Oxford English Dictionary might sway the ideas. So here goes.
