My Autocorrect Hates Stormlight Archive

[NorwegianLighteyes]

My autocorrect seems to hate Stormlight Archive. The words Kholin, Adolin, Jasnah and Dalinar became Colon, Semicolon, Jam sauce and Dallas when I typed them in.

Sometimes I end up adding the names of fantasy characters to my custom dictionary, just because it annoys me that they are red-underlined.  Weirdly enough, most character names from Game of Thrones (even minor characters) are not auto-corrected in Word, even though it does autocorrect Lord of the Rings characters and characters from other prominent fantasy series.  

That's got to be one of the greatest evidences to the prominence of a fantasy series - if the fictional names of the characters are added to the automatic dictionary.  Hopefully Stormlight gets there someday.

Just for fun, I started plugging names in and seeeing what I got. Apparently, our favorite Windrunner and his spren are now part of a buddy comedy called Paladin and Sly, their adventure takes place on the planet Rosary and the Shattered Plains sequence is about avenging the death of King Gavel at the hands of the Parched, who killed him with extreme thirst and the terrifying assassin known as... Set.

Of the choices available, my favourite Colon is definitely Jam sauce (as long as it hasn't be soulcast, of course).

I can't even begin to figure how Adolin gets autocorrected to Semicolon!!

The funniest part about this for me is that Jasnah was corrected to Jam sauce, and we all know that she hates jam.

Autocorrect is the greatest enemy of all fandoms.

Which is why I have turned mine off.
