Written, no. But sure, most communication is (and certainly was) spoken, I'll give you that. > Have you never had an argument get to 'you said this', 'no I did not' ? We even edit our own messaging in our heads. I'm afraid I have. They suck tremendously. Do you think these arguments are a good thing? > We make mistakes, why can't we correct them? We can. We post a correction. "Sorry, I meant to say this." > (We are talking autocomplete of spelling and grammar here at the original level) Unless you produce a magic AI that lets people fix only spelling mistakes and nothing else, we're not talking about just that. > And since obviously your end can have a setting/hack/default to keep the original anyway I'm not sure what the fear is. Most communication platforms these days are actually not controlled by the users, so no, I can't have a setting for it. And if I have a hack for it (which probably requires a tremendous amount of technical expertise, out of reach for most people), I'm almost certainly in violation of some EOL and may get banned. Heck, in some crazy jurisdictions I could even end up in trouble with the law. |
