    Oh I understand that. I was just being facetious; my point was more to do with the definition of a hole, and how it’s used here to describe something that definitely is not a hole.

    If we’re pedantic, then the doughnut hole is the middle bit of the original doughnut, now that this part has been punched out.




  • Personally I avoid using autocorrect for the same reason I avoid using a calculator for mundane calculations. I ascribe to the belief that your brain works in the same way a muscle does; that is, if you don’t use it… you lose it.

    In many instances, autocorrect can be a god send (someone with dyslexia no doubt finds it invaluable for example), but for the layperson, my opinion is that it’s just another tool that promotes laziness, and a lack of thought around grammar/spelling etc.

    I’m not suggesting my way is the correct approach, but rather offering an alternative viewpoint as to why some people disable assistance tools such as autocorrect.
