So that's where the autocorrection approach started. I first encountered it with Cornell's PL/C compiler at Rutgers in 1976, and from other reading I thought it actually originated with PL/C. The practice certainly died not long afterwards - I know the PL/I X compiler didn't autocorrect. Of course, I used the F level compiler too, and I don't recall the behavior, so perhaps I'm all wet.Anyway,
