That CAN be disabled, right?" The sales rep tried to convince me it could be valuable, especially with "big words where you might not see it a lot." I kept a straight face.

I don't want to sound angry or something (because I'm not), but I completely hate it when the computer tries to "correct" words that are correct already, or if it would try to finish the words for me or something like that. The worst thing would be if this happened while I'm writing my short stories, because they contain a lot of made-up words, and many of the characters have English names even though I write in Swedish.
