I feel a certain dissonance in the phrase: "helps users write more efficiently by predicting text quickly, timely and accurately." And I know I can quickly send another message to correct the halfwitted howlers that autocorrect regularly perpetrates without my instantly noticing. This part of Microsofts description also worries me: "Text Predictions in Word for Windows helps users write more efficiently."
