I am going to RANT about both #iOS, and #macOS now.

I am sick to the fucking teeth of both my phone and my computer assuming that I'm talking about the *people* in my contacts list.

I'm autistic. I never am fucking talking about the fucking people in my fucking contacts list! I do not fucking gossip. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I am trying to do a transcription of a meeting from last week, and every time I say a word that is something even remotely similar to the name of someone I have in my contacts, voice dictation will correct what I said to that name.

This also happens when I text, when I email -- any time I use voice dictation, and I use voice dictation a fuck ton.

I have looked, and looked, and looked, and LOOKED online to try to find a way to disable this, to no avail.

It is a bug, not a feature, and it is something that has happened the entire time that I have had an iPhone -- for 11 fucking years.

It makes my work so much more fucking difficult when I say the word "cats" and it corrects it to Katz.

Or when it randomly decides that it is going to AutoCorrect (see?!) the word "Time" to --- see?! It did it, with a capital fucking T, because I have ONE contact in my phone that has that word in it with a capital T.

I am ready to fucking go back to carbon paper and Typewriters and fucking carrier pigeons at this point.

You see how it capitalized Typewriters? It did that because I've got entries in my phone where that word is capitalized in my contacts.

I hate this. I hate this so goddamn fucking much, and it is making my transcription work so much more goddamned fucking difficult!

If there are any tech people out there who can tell me how to fucking disable this bug, not a feature, I will kiss your fucking toes and make you dinner for a goddamn year.

The only option I feel I have is Nuking (why the fuck did it capitalize that?) my fucking contacts.

Or else, going through every single goddamn one of them, and decapitalizing *every single fucking entry*.

That seems to be the only goddamn motherfucking thing I could do to stop this.

OK, sorry about the swearing; I've got at least another hour of transcription to go and it is slow going because of this fucking asshole bullshit decision by some fucking software developer fucking somewhere fucking 15 years ago who thought we must *always* be talking ONLY about the people who are in our contacts in our phone.

Fuck that fucking guy; I hope he's rotting in fucking hell.
