I'm laughing, though. No authority has ever managed to keep up with a live, struggling language. Just ask any cop who's ever tried to figure out the current nickname for cocaine. Or China, because "grass mud horse" is never going to stop being funny.
*roflmao* I bought a cell phone with a real keyboard, in part because I *always* disabe auto-correct, and not because of a potty mouth. Apple's auto-correct is a fix for a problem created by their insistence on an on-screen keyboard, and refusal to produce a stylus-and-graffiti alternative. (They do have a stylus for their largest, most expensive tablet - fat lot of use to me with my cell phone though.) The phone with physical keyboard fits in my pocket, as did my several generations of palm pilot. I'm not OK with one word in 10 being either misspelled or entirely the wrong word, but that's what on-screen keyboards do, unless you have the vocabulary of a 1st grade primer.
That said, the article is from 2016. I wonder whether it's still true. From what gingicat says above, it seems not.
