SoCS: typos

I don’t like having AI butting in with suggestions while I’m typing and I really don’t want to waste the energy it takes to run it, so I disable it as much as possible.

I disabled Gemini from my main Gmail inbox. A casualty of that is that I also lost spell check.

Mind you, spell check was there long before AI started butting in, but now it appears that you can only have spell check if Gemini is turned on.

While I try my best, I’m afraid that some typos have snuck into my emails.

I hope that people forgive them in exchange for my authentic voice, unaltered by AI.
