20. I do proofread and correct, but the autocorrect corrects my corrections--usually more than once.

Sometimes I miss the final autocorrect change just as I hit "post."

If I have time to hang around right after posting, I will spot the mess and fix it again. (Check most of my posts and you will see how often I go back to correct such things immediately after they are posted because of a last second autocorrect.) But if I have to do something else right after posting, I might not notice until I return to DU. If someone has replied and I go to their reply, I might see that there is such an error in my own post, in which case I fix it.

OTOH, since we all have to deal with hyperactive autocorrect on our mobiles, people are usually polite enough to recognize what has happened and, even when pointing it out, do so considerately.

For example, I often spot autocorrect errors and point them out to that person, but I always do so by saying, "I think you meant 'xxxx,' but your hyperactive autocorrect has messed up your post." It would never occur to me to be sneering or rude about it.

BTW, I was able to turn off the autocorrect on my desktop, but although I went to "settings" to turn it off on my little tablet, doing so did nothing. It's like the pedestrian walk button that isn't connected and therefore doesn't have any effect on the traffic light.
