Predictive text

[skuthorp]

I am fed up to the back teeth with predictive text. It means I have to proof read every *^%@# post, and I'm heartily sick of it!!

It can be amusing at times though- https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegl...-of-the-decade JayInOz

I can only type with one finger, and I find myself proofreading and re-proofreading as I go - I sure am envious of those kids who have 'flying thumbs' and can dash off a message or text in no time at all . .

Well, somehow my phone in Poland is set up to auto-correct words in English (correctly spelled) into words in Polish (only distantly related, by a letter or two, to the English word they replace).

Annoying, as most iterations of tech tend to be.

there is (in android, at least - and I suspect, iDevice) a way to turn off auto correct and even suggest.. it saved my blood pressure.

^^ I can truly understand the 'blood pressure' reference ! ! !

Auto correct and predictive can be turned off in an iPhone. I know nothing of any other sort of phone.
