If only all of our tickets were like that.

Do tons of people really think that virtualize is visualize or is this just an autocorrect thing? That it only happens in certain groups of people and not, for example, here makes me think that it is not an autocorrect problem.

It's just people. Just like laser vs. lazer

Could it be these people are simply in a hurry to post, or perhaps english is not their first language?

Who the heck writes lazer, outside of tag, of course?

It is most certainly a spellcheck or autocorrect issue. My iPhone no longer tries to fix it because I have corrected it enough times but when I first got my iPhone 6 it was a hell of a problem because I chose not to restore my prior iPhone 5 and instead I started clean.

Well, I seriously think that spelling should be redone phonetically. I seriously hate examples like
knifeandlaser.Of course rule still will need determined for long or short sounds and stuff. I mean otherwise how would you know that
nifis the longisound? -
@JaredBusch knife is ridiculous, of course. Laser is actually an acronym, though. It's the pronunciation that is wrong, if anything.
-
I find that British spellings, while often crazy, are a little more straightforward because they have more phonetic spelling rules than American English has.
Except for clerk, why does that get pronounced clark?

That is my guess, but it seems so oddly localized that I am suspicious.

Right, but now that it has been accepted as a word, not just an acronym, and defined as a
zsound, it should be spelled appropriately. -
I was going to say that taser was much worse, why is that an s, but it turns out that that is an acronym for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle - just a bad pronunciation and subsequent modification into a common word as well.

So just left a new client's office. They paid $500 for some Indian scam company to do their IT for 2 years. There was a file on the desktop called scan.bat that when run essentially echoed different percents complete and then at the end echoed you have 5823 issues that need to be resolved (along with some other junk). There was another batch file called reset that added and removed a bunch of registries and deleted some files.
