“My English teacher always told me that spelling doesn’t matter because we’ll have autocorrect”
“My teacher told me not to worry about spelling because in the future there will be autocorrect. And for that I am eternally grapefruit” is a jocular saying that has been printed on many images. “Eternally grateful” is correct, but the joke is that autocorrect changed this to “eternally grapefruit.”

Fruity faux pas
EDUCATIONALLY-MINDED reader Hazel Colgan recalls one of her former English teachers who told her not to worry too much about her struggles with spelling as in the future most of her work would most likely be executed on a laptop with autocorrect.
“And for that I am eternally grapefruit,” says Hazel.
