We don t have a metric around amusement. We don t track amusement errors as a metric.
— Nitin Agrawal, head of the European autocomplete team for Microsoft s Bing search engine. Autocomplete — which Microsoft pioneered in Word and has spread to mobile and search — has become a constant source of amusement, of course. There may not be autocomplete-amusement metrics, but collections of funny autocomplete/autocorrect exchanges abound. After all, compilations of the 35 most hilarious/stupid autocomplete fails of the year (or of all time!) are sure to generate a click or two. (For the faint of heart, some of the links contain words that may be NSFW.)
