I complain a lot about autocorrect particularly after I quickly type a text and send it without reviewing my text. Invariably, autocorrect has changed something and made my clearly understandable statement into something utterly confusing. But, after you eliminate these mistakes, which technically are mine because I failed to review the text, I do believe my spelling is getting better because of autocorrect.

The other day I typed tattletail and got the old red line. I was mystified. So I typed tattle tail but it occurred to me that this might be wrong because tattle and tail are two valid words so I was forced to looked it up. Boy was I surprised to learn that I have been misspelling tattletail for a long time. It is tattletale not tattletail.

For some reason, a bunny comes to mind every time I think of tattletale. Which makes me think of tail instead of tale. But after reading the definition it makes so much more sense to spell it tattletale than tattletail. And I owe it all to autocorrect.
