Otto-correct

I hate Otto, the creator of spell-check. Indeed I'm a dumbass for expecting Otto-correct to distinguish amongst homonyms such as you're and your, we're and were, and then and than (not really a homonym that last one). I expect Otto-correct to know my thoughts and respect my desire to distribute memes rather than read books from which to learn techniques for unambiguous communication. Otto-correct has no business expecting me to prioritise proof-reading over the urgency to flush electronically my deluge of brainwaves. I shall now refer to spell-check as "natural stupidity" instead of the self-aggrandizing alterego bequeathed by its (it's?) creators. Meanwhile, I'm going to re-read eight times the one-liner of some genius Picasso who has encrypted his meaning cleverly as if it were an abstract work of art.
