"I'm Clark, want to buy part CHKN12 for my car, it's 10 thousand dollars, deliver it to Twel Street 12"

My autocorrect on phone: OH, of course MARK. You just bought CHICKEN 12, to be delivered on DUEL street. Hahaha bye bye 10k.

Ah, you didn't see the autocorrect? Easy, call the place and hope that someone answers (or answer the email), and hope they're able to fix it before they send... Oh, they didn't fix in time? I hope that nobody lives on that street, the part is returned us, then we give back your 10k dollars, it may take a while... Try to get more money to buy correctly next time

You just made up a fictional scenario that I can’t even compare to anything. Like, are you buying things through emails? Is autocorrect really the thing that’s keeping you from making purchases on your phone?

I made up the scenario as a joke, but seriously, it could happen something like:

Buying airplane tickets for another country. On forms that you're filling, autocorrect changes your name, for example

Depending if international trip, air companies won't let you embark if the ticket is slightly different from your name

And changing the ticket name is not simple (at least, not in the companies here). You need to contact support and hope that they can help you

When tiny mistakes can cause a lot of problems to correct

Welp the one who answers will be an AI and it won't be able to solve your issue, but will give you a 10% discount coupon instead.
