I was reminded of this after my phone autocorrected "honestly" into Throckmorton.

What's the deal with phones auto-correcting to unusual proper nouns? Why is that even an option, if it's literally a word I've never typed/swiped?

I blame it on modem algorithms/"ai" crap.

I noticed like 5 years ago that my phone started switching words I use all the time and it just kept getting worse to the point I have to spell out the word crap.

And in the last year or two mine has started to randomly capitalize words that absolutely don't need it.
