Autocorrect vs DCL

[arch stanton]

Anyone else noticed that D C L (with no spaces) is automatically changed to DCL,

I'm bored, can you tell.

Yes, I guess it saves typing it out but not sure why it's a thing now. Such a long name to see in sentences. I just write Dom now.

I did it a few weeks ago when I saw people using b.b.d and wondered who the hell that was for Ben Brereton Díaz.

My phone did it automatically until the latest update and it's now letting me post words like munnnnned without spotting it's rubbbbish.

I tried to write 'EV' in a post earlier and had it auto-corrected to Everton. Apparently the auto-correct neither holds an economics degree nor plays poker.

I noticed this myself. When you try to right 'fit' after his name it autocorrects to 'injured'.

Nice one. I hate to see acronyms as they exclude readers not in the know and are lazy. However, I see the appeal of nit having to write dcl all the time.
