Talk:Cupertino effect

autocorrect
Is the spellchecker definitely converting 'cooperation' rather than the mistyped 'cooperatino'? I am forever typing informatino instead of information and that seems a more logical thing to trigger an autocorrect or the interest of spellchecker. Wouldn't it be more likely to suggest the hyphenated variant if someone types the unhyphenated one, rather than suggest a completely different word? JoBrodie (talk) 11:08, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

• Oh well it looks like I'm wrong ;) This page clearly indicates 'cooperation' could be converted to 'Cupertino' http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/003629.html JoBrodie (talk) 11:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Occurrence in adaptive spellcheck?
Spellcheck systems that automatically add words to their dictionary or otherwise adapt to the user’s typing habits seem to develop a similar issue over time. For example, iOS spellcheck stops correcting non-dictionary words that are used frequently, and starts to replace dictionary words that are not used often or are used differently than usual.

Would this be considered an instance of this, or a separate phenomenon? 98.217.26.7 (talk) 06:26, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

What about modern exting with t"autoreplacement" features?
When I saw "Cupertino", I immideately thought of Apple devices swapping a rare word with a more common one. I guess this article needs at least one photo of a smartphone's keyboard with a bar for "autocorrection suggestions". 81.89.66.133 (talk) 11:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, and the primary difference from original "cooperation ---> Cupertino" thing is, modern devices happen to have "auto-adapting" spell-checks. In other words, a device may remeber some weird, initially incorrect or straight up obscene word. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 13:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
