The absorption of language into an ongoing life. Something interesting on language as it touches upon the author and the times.

iPhone's perceptive dictation translation
Son David texted me today that he "braved the outside [of his apartment] to get a fancy donut down the block" (referencing the "stay home" orders we are under to contain the virus).
I texted back: "Sounds good. I know when I had the craving for brownies, I just couldn't resist."
While I was voicing my message to iPhone, I noticed it typed "grieving," but later in the sentence and before the period, it changed its mind and realized I had said "craving."
Now that's perceptive and resilient of it, I opined to David.
He texted me back: "It wises up mid-dictate."
Yeah. How'd it do that!
