Oh, seriously? I can type albiet instead of albeit and autocorrect couldn't be less interested, but yesterday we went from "for no good reason" to "gif no hood reason" because the second is OBVIOUSLY more sensible.

I think we're just not approaching this new class of minor demon correctly. I've long proposed an annual Autocorrupt Day to propitiate them: all day, everyone simply accepts and sends whatever their keyboard suggests, without editing. Kind of a Gibberish Jubilee. What's the wombat that could happen?

Yeah. Although... given the political positions in the tech world, I would be unwilling to rely on that going forward :(
