Original: Apple’s grey list: Words and phrases your iPhone won’t help you spell

The Guardian reports that Apple maintains a hidden 'grey list' of words and phrases its iPhone keyboard will not autocomplete or suggest, including terms like 'male chauvinist pig'. The article examines how the list affects spelling help for users, prompting discussion about corporate control over keyboard suggestions and how much influence Apple quietly exerts over everyday typing.
