It’s pretty easy for a sysadmin to disable autocorrect by default in the master boot image they put on these MacBooks.

Assumes there’s a sysadmin with a master boot image. SPOILER it’s someone’s nephew who is “good with computers”.

Try this: Type "duloxetine". Highlight the word. Right-click/control-click/tap with two fingers to bring up the contextual menu, and select "learn spelling". It should now no longer suggest a different word when you type "duloxetine".

It's already unlikely that people consider a mix-up when noticing medication side effects. It seems _much less_ likely that anyone would think of an auto-correct issue on top of that. Thus, not reported => observational bias in pharmacovigilance.

What's equally disturbing is all the
#Apple Apologists here trying to tap-dance around the problem. -
That's a reach. To be fair, they may not be Apple apologists at all. I have lots of friends in tech who, after being shown a situation like this, will still respond with, "it's the user's fault". Many programmers still don't "get" UX.
