Show Your Approval

The evolution of creatures over time can be quite a drastic, grand thing.

Take a fish somehow evolving into a creature with land-capabilities, from originally merely being able to at best flop around on shore to later being capable of traveling across wide expanses of land, where there might not be water for miles.

Take the animals who gain camouflage to survive better in their environment, like a chameleon. Or the animals who gain incredible speed, like a cheetah, or a falcon. Or animals who stay small, and are able to hide away in places that many predators can’t quite reach, like say a good ‘ol bunny.

The evolution of spell check is not one of those stories.
In fact, at times it makes one wonder whether there’s been any evolution at all in recent years…

Hence, we get to the reason this post exists.
This is what happens when you attempt to type “pre-approved” in Firefox:

That third one sounds like a very interesting, and simultaneously very scary concept.
