Long ago, we used MS Word to write reports in the lab. The autocorrect would change all instances of "DNA" into "and". This was very unhelpful for molecular biology.
Of course, "cyclic adenosine monophosphate" is commonly written as "cAMP", which was inevitably corrected to "camp"
I have read that the very dry air inside an airliner reduces the perception of flavors, making even good food taste bland.
Lately, when I fly, I wear a dust mask (kind of like a Japanese pedestrian) to humidify the air I breathe. It prevents nosebleeds, and so prevents my flight from being delayed for 'suspected Ebola virus'.
Now that I'm older, Shakespeare makes more sense. I read about a program for war veterans to read Greek tragedies. They find that Homer and Sophocles had deep insights into the conflicts and suffering of warriors, and gain understanding into their own struggles.
You've had anime open threads here before, and I cannot remember everything I mentioned in the past. Still . . . Ranma 1/2 is a classic. It is funny, and it pokes fun at many of the tropes in 'martial arts' anime. There are ridiculous 'secret techniques' like the "Saotome Final Attack", which consists of running away until you can come up with something. I like it a lot. The manga is even better.
Wow. Haven't looked at your spreadsheet, but I have to admire your organization and thoroughness. Perhaps you might consider medication? It's done wonders for my life.
School Live! It starts as a typical cute high school girl show, but quickly becomes darker. I don't know how to describe it without giving away the store. Um . . . there are zombies
I am currently following GATE and its sequel GATE2 (available at Crunchyroll). The premise is that an interdimensional gate opens in Tokyo's Ginza district, releasing a medieval style sword-and-sorcery army of invasion from the other side. The Japanese self-defense force stop the invasion and secure the gate. The government declares the world on the other side to be a 'special region' of Japan, thus allowing the military to operate there within the constitutional constraints prohibiting foreign military action by Japan.
This is an interesting concept, with modern military power being used to form a beachhead on a new and primitive culture. Japan deals with the special region humanely, overall, but overwhelms their medieval military. Meanwhile, there are political problems back home, as the rest of the world considers the implications of Japan controlling an entire planet's natural resources.
Overall, the show is light and humorous amid the triumphal militaristic action. I find it somewhat disturbing, in light of Prime Minister Abe's efforts to reinterpret the constitution in favor of greater military adventurism.
In general, I recomment the "Aria" series ("Aria the Animation", "Aria the Natural" and "Aria the Origination"), which is set in the city of Neo Venezia on the planet Aqua, formerly known as Mars. 300 years in the future, Mars is terraformed, but a mistake was made that caused it to be completely covered with water. People live on the resulting islands, including one area that is a reconstruction of Venice. It is a big tourist destination, and tours of the city are hired from girl gondoliers, called "Undines". It is a 'slice of life' anime, and so has a very slow pacing, but it is relaxing and cute to watch. I found it to be beautiful.

That may be because of a high level of delusion
