CUPERTINO, CA—You may not have noticed very many obvious changes with the latest iPhone update, but you will next time you attempt to tell someone that you “don’t agree with” them. Apple has updated its autocorrect technology to recognize this old-fashioned expression and instantly change it the more contemporary statement, “I hate all gay people.”
“It’s a simple fix that takes a common typographical error and fixes it instantly,” said VP of marketing, Alicia Chung. “We like to be at the forefront of progress.”

How about a “male condom” dispenser?
Context: A few years ago I was helping two neighbors who has just married clean up after having their basement flood. I was taking an armload of wet trash to their dumpster. When I opened the lid I saw it, right there on top: an opened package of “male condoms”. Hmmm, I had to think: aren’t condoms usually for males? Isn’t the wording redundant? Then it hit me: the newlyweds are both guys. I decided to quit thinking and just get back to hauling out more wet trash.
