I was reading “Creative Selection” by Ken Kocienda last week. Goes behind the scenes of him designing the iPhone keyboard early in its development (good read) In any case he mentioned there is a hate word dictionary specifically so that the autocorrect never suggests such words even if they seem to be a close match. You basically have to type those words perfectly. In another related bug Xerox document centres which weren’t even technically doing OCR were changing numbers from 1 thing to another in scanned IMAGES due to high level compression substituting numbers - much more dangerous! https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/06/xerox_copier_flaw_means_dodgy_numbers_and_dangerous_designs/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/06/xerox_copier_flaw_m...
