   @ianRobinson It comes and goes with me. Sometimes it’s spot on. Other times it’s like an unfriendly ghost in the machine

     I’m not sure autocomplete fixes more writing issues than it solves.

     I’m shit at catching the subtle errors it introduces, such as Ireland in place of Iceland. Or fixed in place of fixes, as was the case in the previous paragraph. I caught that one.

     In my longer writing, I catch them via the text-to-speech step in my editing process. Hearing the text spoken highlights mistakes like that.
