"Surpyringing"

I discovered last night that the new pages is now adding words to the English language.
While (mis)typing the word "surprising," I expected it to auto-correct as it often does when I moved on to the next word. And it did...but the word to which it corrected was not a word at all: surpyringing. Don't believe me? Here's a screenshot of the blue underlined "word":
Wondering if I'd just stumbled across a new vocabulary word, I looked it up but found no results in the dictionary or Wikipedia. Then I google searched and came up with this:
I think I would remember adding this non-word to my personal dictionary, so I can only blame Pages.

It would seem that quality control is deemed redundant in Apple these days.
Certainly it is hard to find evidence that anyone is checking anything that comes out of Apple.
So not surprised, and there is a reason I have it turned off.
If you haven't noticed a large part of the gibberish that floats around the Internet these days and in documents is due to the "spell checking" and "Auto-correct" features in everything.
You certainly have noticed this here, and I have for several years, that far from helping, all these "labour saving" ideas are hindering and causing a massive waste of time.

  • More AutoCorrect joy

    I already posted about "surpyringing." Now it's "trAintracks."
    I typed "traintracks". Maybe that shouldn't have been a compound word. But it sure shouldn't have been made into this masterpiece with wacko capitalization.
    Here's showing what I typed.
    So how about everyone else? Anybody come across more words besides "surpyringing" and "trAintracks" that Apple has added to the dictionary?
