Yesterday night, as I was looking for Gould’s recording of Bach’s French Suites on my tablet, the OS corrected me and suggested: Gluten Gould. I had to share it on Twitter using #classicalAutoCorrect (back in 2012, I started #OperaProductPlacement and that was really fun too). Here are a few good tweets; I’ll update the post with more, so come back later :)

Playing it safe?

Auto correct also works the other way:

#classicalAutoCorrect in the other direction: Bella Voce director @capellmeister's phone now corrects "part" to "Pärt." #win
