#autocarrot

Meta rant: now that I'm using a Macbook every now and then and using Safari and typing text into in-browser text fields, I get annoyed by the built-in autocarrot. E.g. it replaces "green" with "free" as in "green tea" and such, seconds after I typed them.

(I'm not talking the helpful suggestions that appear below the word I mistype, those are helpful. There, it retroactively replaced "are" with "a", whatthactualfoo.)

Innocuous phrases are, when the cursor already has moved forward a few words, messed up by a replaced verb or attribute and the system is not even telling me. I mean, the speling (sic!) is not wrong in the replaced word, however the meaning is b0rked. Narf. Safari makes me re-check everything I typed, in an unpleasant way.

My tolerance is near exhaustion. This sucks balls. Is Safari always like that? Is Chrome a better choice?
