I'd really like to see how autocorrect was programmed because I get really confused at the results sometimes. We're/were is a good example; it doesn't seem that difficult if a word is preceded by you, we, or they, the following should not be "we're," and yet my phone often tries to convince me that's the case. I've heard that phones learn from what you write, e.g. if I spell my name repeatedly it'll recognize it as a word, but like Babelfish and Google Translate I feel technology hasn't quite gotten to where the computer has surpassed the human. Still, the little mistakes bug me because they seem to easily fixable.
