If used an autocorrect and it suggested Diogo Maradona rather than Diego Maradona I literally have no excuses to not ensure it shows correctly when I submit the post.

So, the next time you misspell an athletes name, I'll assume your account has been hacked and proceed to red-tag it.  Deal?


The fact that we have a page and half discussing such a tenuous connection is really laughable.  People misspell words all the time.  I think I have a fairly advanced grasp of the English language, and I misspell words, or use the wrong word all together.  Just this morning I noticed that in a post I made after a couple of glasses of wine last night I used the word "reigns" when I meant "reins."  I know the difference, but I made a mistake because I'm human.

Knowing how poorly autocorrect works for native English, I can only imagine the horror for those who aren't native speakers of the language.
