this article on news.com, the writer aptly points out that Autocorrect, (and auto spell check for that matter) do NOT make up for prudent human checking of the facts. I know I've had this particular case, usually blamed on the software which we don't know to be either Outlook or Notes, opened a number of times when the client sending the email should have dbl checked before hitting the send button.
I sometimes blame Notes for making things too easy. Spell checking catches the bad mspellin's but not the differences in that thing over their. (Yes, it's spelled correctly, no, it's not the correct usage of THERE.)
The article points out just how dangerous it is to rely on the software to make decisions that only humans can make. So to Emily, Lazlo, and all the others out there sending personal messages to me a gmail, test the waters, and ask the recipient if they are indeed the person you think they are. Personally, I ignore misdirected messages, usually after a hearty laugh.
