Speech to text getting it wrong? I seem to see a lot of phonetic type errors these days. Been / being seems to be a very common one.

Please excuse my 20th century techy knowledge, but do some people speak their Tweets nowadays rather than type them like I do?
Not that that should give them an excuse for failing to check the text before hitting Send.

I have to say this is an old thread, I'd quite forgotten about it. I don't have such a good...
