If that was intentional it was a gem. If it wasn't, it's still a gem.

I've never changed my browser after the update. I hate how it sometimes replaces words with completely inappropriate words. Instead of turning it off, I'm trying to pay more attention to the changes it makes while I'm typing. Sometimes it happens so quickly, I don't see the change.
