What really gets me is when I’m writing an email to a friend or colleague or student with a non-English name, and autocorrect “fixes” it. It makes me seem xenophobic and disrespectful and it shouldn’t happen in a civilised country.

Assuming our species survives, future civilisations will assume we were an illiterate/oral tradition society, since very few physical records of our literature and art will remain.

Random trivia: you know that pale blue shade that was super popular in the 1950s? It's called "Coronation Blue" and was introduced for Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. Hence the popularity, one assumes.

Am at the classic car show at the local village fair. The caption on one MG begins “I acquired this car from a little old lady who had owned it from new, having previously owned an MGB.” I like her already.
