        Why the fuck does autocorrect randomly capitalize certain words? It’s so irritating. I’ve never had any issue with commas though, so I don’t know where that’s coming from.

          If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.

            Oh, I see. That makes total sense. Mobile keyboards have truly wrecked the general population’s ability to use proper grammar. One thing I’ve noticed a lot is that they also tend to insert unwanted apostrophes. For example, typing “its” always corrects to “it’s,” which is very frustrating.

              Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.

              I hate the whole “its” being converted to “it’s” no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won’t let me use it. Taught my keyboard “that’d” and it would autocorrect it to “that’s” every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn’t leave it, it’d force it back to “that’s” again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with “it’d” to “it’s” too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.

              My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.

              Gboard does a pretty good job at highlighting your errors correctly in context. I’d guess it’s iPhone users fucking up grammar that much.

                  Which is due to missing context at the end of a sentence, probably. Therefore it just chooses the most likely, but often not best, word.
                  Workaround: Disable autocorrect, and check for underlined words afterwards.

              I’m pretty sure I turned that off ~8-10 years ago and Google has just remembered it ever since

              Also I use swipe typing so that probably helps too

          Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)

          I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough

            I’m on SwiftKey too and switched from Gboard for similar reasons. The only reason I’m not running one of the open source ones is that typing with one hand is unbearable without being able to to swipe, and I use my phone in bed a fair bit.

        That, or if they’re like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don’t care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like “what the fuck did I write there”.
        Another key to identify those is double words.
        Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.

      It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don’t see why that bothers you so much

      Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak

      Stilted with many gaps

      Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain

      But that’s a conversation for another time

        Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?

          I just spent a ridiculous number of hours replacing our dishwasher. This is a task that shouldn’t really take more than an hour or two, but there were complications caused by the previous owner of the house…plus I made the mistake of trying to fix our old dishwasher first.

          If there are elves in that thing, I’d like to slap 'em around for putting me through that headache.

    That’s because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.

    There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don’t need to see what’s in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

      You don’t need to see what’s going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

        I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines

    How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar? I find it hard to believe someone would write like that without consciously making it as bad as possible just so people would comment on it. And I’m in just as much disbelief that no one has said anything about it.

    My first inclination was blender is critical to see progress as you set the time, ovens can see how brown cookies are but the dishwasher is a fixed cycle and who care… but then I thought about my washer and dryer both having windows for no reason what so ever.
