I would chime in but I don't use predictive text as the very idea that a divine being could be predicted by an infernal device is blasphemy.

Do not let the machines sully our tongue comrades, throw off the yolk and do not submit to heretical guidance.

How dare they try to speak with our words

Jokes aside I actually fucking hate it when machines say stuff like "thank you for shopping here" in that anodyne voice that's the aural equivalent of greige.

A machine cannot thank, thank you isn't a magic spell. It is supposed to signal gratitude. Unless uttered by a thinking being it is a bastardisation of language.

The... the yolk? You have quite the eggcentric inclination!

See! see what horrors even the affectation of automatic spelling correction can bring!

Purge the machine from your life my friends. It will only lead you astray.
