I Hate Auto Formatting

I hate being told what to do by an algorithm

Scanning my text and making suggestions 

I don’t need you to change my text

I don’t ned your suggestions

I know how to edit

I don’t need your corrections.

 

I wrote (C) not © so please don’t change what I’ve written

The C is a major C chord in a song that I’ve copy-written.

I’m sharing the lyrics with friends for rehearsals and performances.

I’m not printing it up for the library of congress.

Your auto-formatting is a problem, not progress.

Copyright goes at the end of a piece.

Not in the middle of a sentence.

You don’t know what I need, you’re just guessing.

Your function wastes my time because I need time to go change the settings.
