One thing I noticed, Drumpf is auto-capped. While trump not so much. It suggests to cap trump but if you hit a new line break it won't auto-cap like it does for Drumpf.

Oddly it suggests Drumpf is incorrect and when you highlight it it suggest changing it to "drumpf"

I guess lexicology trumps politics.

Yeah it never bothered me before but auto capping Drumpf is weird (while technically correct). Let me try hood, it used to auto change it to good without fail.

I am trapped in Android spell-checking hell, dude. Don't ask me. There are times I want to toss the developers for the spell checking features out a ducking window,

I use caps a lot so if I go real fast I think it can detect when I'm being hostile by the context of my words and it will start randomly caps locking words. It also changes perfectly good words that I input to something incorrect sometimes. Aggravating. Seems to be acting better today though.

I always disable auto-korrect when I get a new phone

Imagine what could happen if natural language processing reaches the point where we can detect "hate speech", however some corporate entity wants to define it, and then block that speech from even being posted or entered.

Germany Raids Homes of 36 People Accused of Hateful Postings Over Social Media

BERLIN — In a coordinated campaign across 14 states, the German police on Tuesday raided the homes of 36 people accused of hateful postings over social media, including threats, coercion and incitement to racism.

Most of the raids concerned politically motivated right-wing incitement, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office, whose officers conducted home searches and interrogations. But the raids also targeted two people accused of left-wing extremist content, as well as one person accused of making threats or harassment based on someone’s sexual orientation.

“The still high incidence of punishable hate posting shows a need for police action,” Holger Münch, president of the Federal Criminal Police Office, said in a statement. “Our free society must not allow a climate of fear, threat, criminal violence and violence either on the street or on the internet.”

I had an idea to make Quran toilet paper yesterday and I could not find it on Google.

At first I thought that I had a found a product that needed demand and then I realized that Google was probably filtering out results

Luckily we still have freedom here and the Supreme Court confirmed it

Supreme Court unanimously reaffirms: There is no ‘hate speech’ exception to the First Amendment

From [June 19] opinion by Justice Samuel Alito (for four justices) in Matal v. Tam, the “Slants” case:

[The idea that the government may restrict] speech expressing ideas that offend … strikes at the heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote separately, also for four justices, but on this point the opinions agreed:

A law found to discriminate based on viewpoint is an “egregious form of content discrimination,” which is “presumptively unconstitutional.” … A law that can be directed against speech found offensive to some portion of the public can be turned against minority and dissenting views to the detriment of all. The First Amendment does not entrust that power to the government’s benevolence. Instead, our reliance must be on the substantial safeguards of free and open discussion in a democratic society.

And the justices made clear that speech that some view as racially offensive is protected not just against outright prohibition but also against lesser restrictions. In Matal, the government refused to register “The Slants” as a band’s trademark, on the ground that the name might be seen as demeaning to Asian Americans.
