About the look and intelligence level I expect from people demanding a corporation keep a regime mouthpiece on air. Your phones will spellcheck for you, why is it so hard to double-check before embarrassing yourself in public?
I'm starting to think that a lot of phones removed the spellcheck feature, just because of the sheer number of online posts I've seen with blatant misspellings. And if someone else mentions it the response is inevitably "well, I'm on my phone and you know what I meant!"
I turned the autocorrect off on mine because it kept making incorrect corrections. I suspect a bunch of ESL DEI hires are currently employed maintaining those spellcheck features.
It's not just the phones, something happened to spell-check in browsers too.
I've seen Chrome-based browsers not able to correct one character wrong in a twelve character long word, not even needing to add or remove a character just fix one vowel. A 1980s spell checker using 20k of memory was better than what we have today.
I haven't looked into why but I'd guess when they 'upgraded' it for unicode and non-English languages the programmers assigned to it were idiots. Eventually they'll dumb it down even more and use a hundred billion parameter LLM to do it as well as Levenshtein and a Trie.
Reminds me of past protests by the same idiots where the situation came down to them holding signs about $CurrentThing while also saying $CurrentThing was bad enough it got them off their ass finally to protest.
To which someone tore the stance to shreds by listing all the other events that likely happened in their lifetime where they did fuck all. Included stuff like Jim Crow and other large scale protests.
The Late Show is of course going to get a ratings bump from all this, but any bets on how quickly it will drop back down? I'll be generous and say by September the ratings will crater back down to before this all happened.

edit: Yep. Chrome and Firefox now use Hunspell and "Hunspell [is] designed for languages with rich morphology and complex word compounding ... Unicode UTF-8-encoded". Non-CS degree lead programmer on it brags about non-standard hyphenation support /facepalm
Perhaps she infiltrated the crowd and tried to slander them by insinuating that they're all a bunch of commie bastards. ;)
At 1:25 they're getting everyone to repeat what the female announcer has to say. What a laughable protest attempt. White female leading the charge is instant cringe.
(((White female)))
Didn't they lose 40 million last year. Why do leftists always think THEIR causes should be funded by people regardless of the cost
The “good thing” is usually a yacht or new vacation home for someone else

They're choosing the (col)bear.
Except they don't watch the show, and don't really care. (or it wouldn't have lost 40 - 50 million a year)
They just want to feel like they're a part of something trying to affect change.
They are displaying learned helplessness.
From the people who voted for a commie mayor.
