Autocorrect Is The Devil

Wednesday morning, I got a text from Genius, showing a gloomy day in Pittsburgh out his window.

"It's SNOWING!"

"That makes me cold."

Of course, I'm always cold. And we've already had our first snow. Not that I wasn't excited for Genius. I would have thought he'd get snow before us. Anyhoo... I went on to say:

"You need to make a big pot of chili."

Well. Good thing I looked at it before I hit send. That dang Autorcorrect had changed my words! Specifically, it changed CHILI to CHILD!!! 

I also informed Genius of that attempted trickery. He thought it was funny. I stopped short of typing my theory that Autorcorrect is the devil. Genius is quite dismissive of my conspiracy theories. But seriously... in what kind of world does an app replace CHILI with CHILD in a context like that?

The Pony also laughed when I told him, and said, "Darn those satanists!" He doesn't buy into my conspiracies either, but at least he will joke about them.
