http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupertino_effect


The Cupertino effect is the tendency of a spell checker to suggest or autocorrect with incorrect words to replace misspelled words and words not in its dictionary.

This term refers to the unhyphenated English word "cooperation" often being changed to "Cupertino" by older spellcheckers with dictionaries containing only the hyphenated variant, "co-operation".[1] Cupertino is notable for being the home of Apple Inc.
