The GCW Tour, Spain & Morocco: Further Commentary on Technical Challenges

Like most people these days, my sibs and I generally use text messaging to communicate. But while my primary communication medium is my employer-provided Windows phone, Sib4's is an iPhone.

I never quite understood her complaints about the auto-correct function on the iPhone until I started using the iPad for blogging. People frequently complain about Apple's vaguely authoritarian tendencies -- I have to spend $45 on a cable, really? Isn't there a generic brand I can use? -- but, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, who on Earth programmed their auto-correct? Obviously misspelled words without analogues are ignored, while routine, properly spelled words get replaced with some other word that Apple thinks you'd prefer. 

If I preferred that word, don't you think I would've just typed it? Apparently not. 

In any case, should you find some random word that appears completely out of context stuck into one of my posts, blame the auto-correct feature on the iPad. I'm typing pretty quick here as I wait for the next activity to begin, so I don't have a lot of time for proofreading. 

I'll try to clean out Apple's suggested improvements when I go back through all this to plug in the photos.
