Grammar correction today, wrong think correction tomorrow..... lock you out of your phone for wrong think the day after that.

What? How would that follow? Any word processing program like Microsoft Word has had grammar correction for decades. I'm actually surprised it has taken this long to get a sentence checker on a phone.
Now, I know these idiot's always fear "The Big Evil" but if their dastardly plots involve making sure people always use the correct instance of your vs you're, I welcome the Global Cabal.
Well, from one moose to another:

There's an extremely good reason why Churchill won the Nobel Prize for Literature , OP.
Isn’t there an option to turn those kinds of things off usually?
Anyway, I’m all for it if it stops people from using “should OF” etc when they mean “should HAVE” lol
“ lock you out of your phone for wrong think the day after that”
1. No one makes money if you’re locked out of your phone. Except other phone services.
2. If you’re locked out for, i dunno, thinking you have a divine right to choose other people’s pronouns, then there’s no reaching you to ‘reprogram’ you.
3. All these corrections are ‘suggestions.’ some users have demanded greater and greater ease so it’s often automatic unless you take extra steps. But every system i’ve ever seen, it’s something you can turn off. 1984 would have been quite the comedy if Big Brother had a Cancel option or an Undo.
4. Big Tech could give a flying fuck if you use Their/There/They’re. Programmers keep adding these functions so THEY don’t look like knuckle-dragging morons, but if ewe feel strawnly that’s yore mitre, go aheed and do whatever U needs two. Self-Indemnify as the 0 card in Tarot. It’ll speed introductions.
"Wrong think" sounds like something from the Newspeak dictionary, but this isn't 1984. Bad grammar keeps the internet going, and can be a cheap shot, but I have noticed some of the worst bigots have the worst spelling and grammar!
