Along these lines, I recently learned:

Painstakingly is pains + takingly (as in "took great pains"), not pain + stakingly.

Helicopter is helico + pter ("spiral wing"), not heli + copter.

In linguistics, this phenomenon is called rebracketing.

Cemex decision by the NLRB.

However, if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union.

Yes, you get it. Speaking as a software engineer, users need to adapt their behavior to accommodate the product, not the other way around.

It's impossible to account for every fanciful scenario or ethical edge case - remember, software exists in a vacuum of pure logic. So if a braindead algorithm dredges up a painful memory of yours every year and tactlessly features it alongside a lighthearted quip from the marketing team, it's nobody's fault.

Well, it's your fault for not avoiding Facebook on that day. What I mean is, it's not my fault and it's not Facebook's fault, whatever that means. It's just the computer doing its thing.

Just kidding!!! I am using sarcasm to express my contempt for this mentality! It is correct to criticize tech companies for catastrophic UX failures! I believe it is in very poor taste to offer workarounds in reply to an anecdote like this!

I suspect it's just an autocorrect typo for "beginning to work".

Stored in memory is still stored.

Given what I know about how computers accept user input, I am fascinated to hear what the alternative is.
