It's autocorrect that kills me - feels like they've got a boolean check[0] backwards, because my iPhone is constantly switching its/it's, well/we'll, ill/I'll and others to the wrong version. [0] - obviously there's no such code for autocorrect, I imagine it's just some AI soup now

Ill as in sick?

Yep so something like "Yesterday I was ill" would get changed to "Yesterday I was I'll" - it's not the end of the world, but it's definitely annoying.
