How to stop PF GUI auto changing i to I?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around an issue with spell-check functionality in a web browser, specifically Internet Explorer version 10, which automatically capitalizes the lowercase "i" to an uppercase "I." This poses a problem for users who frequently use "i" in mathematical contexts, such as in complex analysis. The user is seeking a way to disable this specific auto-correction feature without affecting other spell-check corrections. It is confirmed that the issue is related to the web browser's settings and add-ons, but no clear solution is provided for managing the spell-check settings. The user considers adapting their formatting by omitting spaces when using "i" in mathematical expressions to avoid the auto-capitalization.

Hi,

I notice my posts now have spell-check which I like but it's also changing little I to capital I which is a problem for me since I frequently make complex analysis posts which involves complex i. . I believe that's my web browser doing that right and not PF? Is there a way to disable the little I to big I auto-correction and not affect the other spell-check corrections?

Thanks,
Jack

It is your computer (probably the web browser), indeed.
Which browser do you use? Any add-ons installed?

Hi, sorry about that. I'm using IE version 10 and I now see it has a spelling correction add-on. But when I go into managing add ons, I don't see any options for managing the spell checker.

I'm just now realizing it doesn't correct it without spaces as in ig(x) but if I were to put a space in it, even in tex mode, it would auto-capitalize the I like I g(x).

I suppose if there is no way to fix this, I can learn to omit spaces when I'm formatting math code with I in it .
 

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
