gahhhhhhhhh... I hate autocorrect. It results in typos that make you look like a non-native writer in the language and produces more interference in the mind of the reader, not less, because it's easier to read over a simple typo than incorrect diction.

"A top developer creator an overkill solution..." would have read better had whatever typo that had lead to "creator" instead of "creating" had remained in my original text.

At least red underlines instead of autocorrect highlights the error and prompts you to go back and choose the correct word (<-- perfect example... while writing this previous sentence, "word" originally had a typo and was changed to "work")
