I have to tell you, being a Latin teacher, autocorrect and I are Not Friends. Trying to open an email to a student with “SALVE!” (hello!) and having it changed to “SLAVE!” may be funny as hell, but one day my tired ass is going to accidentally send it and there will be a Problem.
I made the mistake of telling my students this, and now they have started responding to my good morning “Salvete!” with “SLAVE!”
Autocorrect happened to a student in another class, and I have to tell you, there’s nothing quite like getting a notification on your phone and seeing you have an email from a student with “SLAVE!” as the opening line.
