    Standards have been declining for some time and now it's deep-rooted.

    Hope Felixsowe"s 80s display at the museum gets even more poplar aftet all the attention from a no doubt autocorrect. Poplar comes before popular in my list when I type pop. But I do agree withb @Tekkytyke they should be checked.

    Auto correct is no excuse for making an ash of everything.

    A continuity presenter on one of the channels last night described a programme as a tour de France. I was wondering what it had to do with cycling for several seconds before I realised he possibly should have said tour de force.

    The main problem with auto-correct is people resting on their laurels.
