  1. DAMN YOU, AUTOCORRECT! A student at a technical college sent a text
    message: "Gunna be at west hall today." West Hall is a combination
    middle and high school in Gainesville, Ga. There were two problems with
    the message: he sent it to the wrong number, and his phone auto-
    corrected the spelling of the first word -- to "gunman". The alarmed
    recipient called police, who advised the school to go into lockdown to
    deal with the apparent threat. Once the message was tracked down to the
    sender and it became apparent that it was all a mistake, the lockdown
    was lifted. (RC/Gainesville Times) ...And to anyone who can type on a
    phone without ever making a mistake, we say this: You're a better man
    than I am, Gunman Din.
