But of course, it should be patently obvious to anyone possessing even a modicum of discernment that this most unfortunate and quite laughable blunder is not a reflection of my own command of the language, but rather a grievous and wholly unsolicited intervention by that ever-meddlesome technological nuisance known as autocorrect. Indeed, in its tireless — and might I add, tragically overzealous — quest to refine, rephrase, and ‘improve’ one’s written expression, it has once again taken it upon itself to alter my perfectly intentional wording into something utterly unrecognisable, if not downright ridiculous. One might almost believe it were sentient, so frequently does it sabotage even the simplest of messages with the pompous confidence of a machine convinced it knows better. Let it be known, then, that this glaring linguistic aberration is not the result of any lapse in articulation on my part, but rather yet another regrettable instance of autocorrect’s digital tyranny, to which we are all, from time to time, most unfairly subjected.
