  1. @ApostateEnglishman This spelling appears in some dictionaries because it was used in 1646. As far as I can tell it was used only _once_. This misspelling of "loyalty" was probably a typo or mistranslation by the original author. Or, it may be an error introduced in more recent times during scanning/OCR. I haven't seen a photo of the original page so I can't confirm, but I have seen this sort of glitch happen.

    Nevertheless, it's bizarre to include such a rare and archaic word in spell-check dictionaries!

    How did this happen? I think it may be a consequence of LLMs scraping content from online sources, using what it finds without the intelligence to discern between quality and slop, and negligent humans failing to review machine-generated content before declaring "LGTM, ship it!" Next, that LLM gets scraped by other LLMs, which indiscriminately incorporate the errors into their own AI model training corpus in an ever-worsening "Habsburg AI" feedback loop.

    Thus, it seems one person's typo nearly 400 years ago has resurfaced and is contributing to AI Model Collapse.

    We plan to move to a new house sometime soonish. We will not want an induction hob. I am not giving up using my Hancock's wok.

    [#AutoCarrot tried to change that to woke.]

  5. I love trying to type on my phone.

    I wrote "restic backups" and autocarrot 🥕 converted that to "testicular backups". 🍒

    I've probably written "restic" a few times for notes or to-do items, but I've never written "testicular" there. 🤷

  7. iOS autocorrect sure misunderstands the likelihood/frequency of me using the word “Ill” vs the contraction “I’ll”. #apple #iOS #AutoCarrot 🚗🥕

    Well said!

    But, has #AutoCarrot attacked your alt-text, or is that a joke I don't get?

    I'd be lying if I said #AutoCarrot had tried to change it to Gurnard for me, but it still might.

  14. @georgepenney So what you're saying is that the #autocarrot is real and its name is Barbara?

  17. If you're like me, you've noticed that it's gradually become harder and harder to successfully enter text on an iPhone keyboard. Today I learned it's possible to reset the keyboard dictionary so it will quit [presenting you with | correcting your input to] all the typos you've made since 2007.

    To do this, drill your way down through:

    Settings
    General
    Transfer or Reset Phone
    Reset
    Reset Keyboard Dictionary

    ... and then enter your passcode.

  19. @Verso @lkanies Not for the ducking around, but I make massive use of text replacements for words that I do not want #AutoCarrot to change for me.

    Example: replace all instances of bugger, with bugger.

    Snake is a little liar.
    I typed Sunak, but #AutoCarrot knows better.
