Incorrect Corrections



If you send text messages with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, you may have noticed the annoying autocorrect feature that guesses what word you are trying to say - and is sometimes hilariously wrong. Damn You Autocorrect is a site that collects screencaps of these often incomprehensible assumptions. Some text may be NSFW. Link -via Metafilter

This is why I have it disabled. Very annoying. It should only autocorrect if you press the suggestion and not when you press space. Pressing the suggestion ignores it.

All through my undergraduate and grad school years, I was always willing to share my notes with friends who may have missed a lecture or two.
Most would only ask once.

My notes would include the date, topic, and whatever key words, phrases, names, dates, figures, and side comments I thought might be useful. Most fellow students were somewhat appalled that they would write several pages of almost verbatim lines from the lectures and I would sketch out a couple of pages of cryptic entries. Whatever it took to jog my memory or remind me to look up later ended up in my notes. Rarely any more than that.

The bottom line is find out what works for you.
Now lecturers are using Powerpoint presentation, I guess you don't even need to decide what is important.
