Technology is wonderful. I can watch baseball games wherever I want. I can listen to any music I want, watch any movies, and communicate with anyone at any time thanks to advances in cell phones. Unfortunately, due to a mix of human and technological error, I can rarely put together complete sentences on my Android phone using the swiping technology without making big errors. Some people refer to this problem as "damn autocorrect." To illustrate how this can be a problem with an example from my own life, you never want to text your significant other, "Judy got out of the shower." I now take great care whenever I type the word "Just".
To further illustrate this problem, I opened up a document in google drive and began swiping baseball teams and the current player that first came to mind when I thought of that team. Keep in mind that many of these names I have typed in previously and are unusually accurate. Not everyone, though. Here are the results:
Philadelphia Phillies-child Hamels
Speech's braves-Shelton Simmons
Washington nationals-Bryce happier
New York meets-David weight
Miami martins-guacharo Stanton
St Louis cardinal-yadier Millon's
Pittsburgh pirates-Andrew birchen
Chicago cubs-Jeff Samardzija
Mikhail's beers-RYAN brain
Couldn't reds-jittery Vito
San Francisco giants-buster post
Lots Angeles dodgers-cotton Kershaw
San Diego padres-Chase Healey
Clay ruckus-Troy Torino
Arizona diamondbacks-park Goldschmidt
New York takes-having Ellsbury
Hudson red Sox-fusion Pedro's
Baltimore orioles-Chris David
Toronto blue jays-Jose Budweiser's
Taps bay rays-Evan linguists
Chicago White Sox-Cyrus sake
Cleveland Indians-Jain links
Kana city royals-asked Huron
Minnesota twins-Joe nature
Detroit tigers-Miguel Cabrera
Feel free to experiment on your own and share the result. Or just share your most embarrassing autocorrect moment.
