          If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.

              Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.

              I hate the whole “its” being converted to “it’s” no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won’t let me use it. Taught my keyboard “that’d” and it would autocorrect it to “that’s” every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn’t leave it, it’d force it back to “that’s” again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with “it’d” to “it’s” too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.

              My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.

              Gboard does a pretty good job at highlighting your errors correctly in context. I’d guess it’s iPhone users fucking up grammar that much.

                  Which is due to missing context at the end of a sentence, probably. Therefore it just chooses the most likely, but often not best, word.
                  Workaround: Disable autocorrect, and check for underlined words afterwards.

            Good call! I hadn’t thought of that factor; even though my English keyboard does that, too. I can’t type random things it didn’t know until it was taught like “BLARGH” without it auto-capitalizing the entire thing, like it just did here.

            Which is extra hilarious when it’s more nonsense memey things like “SQUART” or “VAGANAINIA” or “PREGANTE” or “DIYUCK” that my friends and I would spam each other with. Looking through the list of words it added to my ‘personal dictionary’ was hilarious. I struggle to get it to type all that nonsense in lowercase and it tickles me!

          Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)

          I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough

        That, or if they’re like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don’t care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like “what the fuck did I write there”.
        Another key to identify those is double words.

            Auto insertion of space in mobile keyboards. Usually they also remove the preceding space when you press enter, but if somebody manually presses space after an automatic insertion of space then you get double spaces and only one will be removed

      It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don’t see why that bothers you so much

      Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak

      Stilted with many gaps

      Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain

        Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren’t supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that’s part of what’s going on here.

        It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I’m both glad I’m not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.

        I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)

        Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?

          I just spent a ridiculous number of hours replacing our dishwasher. This is a task that shouldn’t really take more than an hour or two, but there were complications caused by the previous owner of the house…plus I made the mistake of trying to fix our old dishwasher first.

    There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don’t need to see what’s in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

      You don’t need to see what’s going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

        I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines

    Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.

    It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.

    Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

      Also, it wouldn’t really look nice - a typical stainless steel dishwasher looks clean - a microwave and oven (hopefully) look clean and tidy through the window. But a windowed dishwasher? Half full of dirty dishes for most of the day, and even when the dishes are clean they won’t look neater than a plain stainless steel finish (or whatever finish you prefer)

    How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar?

    It’s to hide the exploitation of the little gnomes that are enslaved in there. It’s like most people enjoy a good steak, but nobody wants to see how it’s produced. If you see the latter you’re likely to become a vegan. Do you want to scrub your dishes by hand?
