Apple’s predictive keyboard has never heard of ‘El Capitan’

I’ve finally been able to start processing Apple’s overly long WWDC that was packed with celebrity appearances, tons of great software, and Eddy Cue’s horrible shirt. All of my nerd friends are chatting about iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, which is kind of hard to do because Apple hasn’t added ‘El Capitan’ to its predictive keyboards yet.

Try texting your buddy about how stoked you are for the ‘El Capitan’ beta from Mac and it’s automatically corrected to El Capital, which actually might have been a better name for it now that it’s suggested.

This is me in basically every chat window today:

el-capital

It’s a tiny thing, but kind of totally annoying. You could easily fix it by adding a short cut to El Capitan. Hopefully Craig Federighi’s minions of programers will get around to adding the new OS X name to the keyboard dictionary before El Capital launches in the fall.
