I'm sure auto correct have a thing out for me and want to butcher the posts I make. Like I spend my time proof reading and every got damn time it completely changes my sentences and make up words that don't exist. Auto -correct I hate you and you is nothing more than the devil torture weapon. Am I alone are their others that just can not stand auto-correct?
Eh, autocorrect on my phone has saved me from a few lazy typos I wouldn't of been assed to go back and fix. And it hasn't fucked me over too badly yet so I don't have any real problem with it. Then again autocorrect on my phone is actually more like optional-correct, it just offers suggestions for words rather than automatically changing them. I tend to find autocorrect on skype more annoying because that's because I regularly say things like character names and fictional places, and words that arent real words on there.
It is not too bad to me. Annoying sometimes though when using words that aren't real English words, like character names. Sometimes it leads to funny situations though. Like when I tried to say, "I'm not wrong", it came out as "I'm not wrestling". Lol A common one is when I say "yay" it comes out as "gay". Usually I catch it before I actually post it now.
Mixed bag of useful, annoying and amusing. Percentages vary. For extra annoyingness, leave it on while texting in more than one language, sometimes using both within the same message.
I hate autocorrect! I have it on my phone and it's hard enough to type without the darn the darn thing changing half of my words Dx
It's a useless piece of SHIT, the worst thing in history ---------- Post added 25th Jan 2015 at 08:26 PM ---------- But sometimes you have to spell words in other languages and the goddamn thing changes it completely
I just removed it this month from both my phone and Mac. Got tired of seeing technical or slightly foreign words get replaced with totally weird things, not to mention autocorrect always suggesting that one time I misspelled a location (seriously, don't you realize I'm not choosing that, SIRI???!!!).
If there was no autocorrect, then I wouldn't be able to laugh at all those funny websites with examples of autocorrect failures. I'm afraid of becoming reliant on it. To the extent that I only have it on one computer and bought a dictionary. Anyway, it's frustrating having to add tons of new words again... maybe I should learn how to transfer that stuff. The few times in my life I've sent text messages on cell phones -- there was no txt spk. People could probably tell it was from me by that alone. With that said, I'm reminded of this study.
I turned it off within a month of getting my iPhone because it kept changing one totally correct commonly used word with another correct commonly used word.
I turned mines off as well i used to have a phone that saved all my typing errors and it would replace the right spelling words with typos.
A few times it has helped me out but on the whole it's a nause. Like when it decides to replace "of" with "if". Also, SIRI is a waste of space, as she'll tell you she doesn't understand something, but she soon does if you tell her to F@&* off! She says "Now, Now"! Try it and see.
Auto correct evil? It's not like "I love BBQ Children" or anything... or that "I have Michigan blood running through these vagina's" instead of vains.. (this one had me crying I laughed so hard.)
