    I my infinite wisdom I have allowed my phone that it may give me, his one and only master, his single purpose of existence, suggestions what I could have ment, when I type arrohamce. It may not change my superior writing by itself, but only show me his inferior opinion on what an alternative form of the word could be, because it definitely isn’t one thing: wromg.

          Agreed, l can type pefectIy fine without speIIcheck.

          Edit : Mwahaha, you’ve activated my trap card. I’ve stolen your upvotes with fraudulent spelling. Those i’s up there are actually L’s, and the L’s are i’s! I am a master upvote criminal.

          Heist completed.

    First thing I do with a new device (or app that has its own settings) is disable anything that fucks with my text input.

    • Autocorrect
    • Predictive text
    • Text replacement
    • Spellcheck

    Language is a dynamic thing, and it’s the main way we express our individual perspectives to each other. It’s the very last thing I would ever want to autotune about myself.

    Duck Fuck off autocorrect, I know what I mean better than you, and you, as a mere slave, have no right to tell me what how too rite.

    I feel like it’s gotten significantly worse (on Android at least). I remember when I taught it a word or corrected often enough, it would learn I use that word frequently

    Now, it keeps trying to capitalize random words and turn them into acronyms out of nowhere

    It’s cool that it has rudimentary grammar checking now - it’s very hit or miss but still useful. Not worth the trade off though

      I just had to do a reset. The ui on my phone just got a couple of updates and it all went downhill from there.

      It started capitalizing random letters in the middle of words and turning correctly spelled words into garbage, over and over again.
