Heavens, no! I'm not sure vim (which of course is what I use to compose posts :-) ) even *has* a notion of auto-correction, and if it did I doubt I'd enable it. Automatic detection of (supposed) spelling errors is one thing, and useful in its way, but automatic "correction" .... No thanks. I suppose this is a YMMV thing, because I do know at least one smart and capable person who apparently thinks auto-correction is just swell, but to me it just seems too likely to produce nonsense results. -- B.
