Thread: The joys of autocorrect

    I think a hardship case gets included once your MAS really starts getting out of control.

    Please forgo me for getting Sirius for a minute. "Guage" is not a word and wood autocorrect to "gauge." But "rouge" and "rogue" are both words and so are autocorrectible to each author. Just sighing.

    My new red mandolin is a rouge Rogue and I'm looking for a hardship case to fit.

    Looks like it works on thread titles, too.

    As I'm slightly deaf, I use subtitles when watching TV, especially when people speak with accents or in dialects that I'm not used to. I was just watching a British true police show ("RPU: Road Policing Unit") in which officers were called to a drive-in restaurant "where a man has been reported to the cops after staff witnessed him driving erotically on CCTV." At least that's how the subtitles explained the situation. To my relief, the CCTV footage wasn't detailed.
    Robert Johnson's mother, describing blues musicians:
    "I never did have no trouble with him until he got big enough to be round with bigger boys and off from home. Then he used to follow all these harp blowers, mandoleen (sic) and guitar players."
