The autocorrect feature in Gmail has the unfortunate but hilarious habit of vigorously changing standard math terms into free-associative nonsense. Here are some highlights (and I might add to this list from time to time):
- “Igusa varieties” -> “Iguana varieties”
- “Zariski topology” -> “Czarist topology”
- “Gelfand spectrum” -> “Gelatin spectrum”
- “cokernel” -> “cockerel” (my favorite so far)
