What do YOU do when you've reached your limit on correcting the grammar/spelling errors made by your phone?

I turn off predictive spelling on my phone. And I spell properly, none of this “c u l8r” rubbish.

I like the term CAFS. Nice.
I turn it off. I find it slower than just typing the word.
I’m confident that I’m sufficiently skilled in the art and simply do not need it.

I use it but if it annoyed me I turn it off. I do spell properly when texting and so it doesn’t tend to bother me that much now that I have added names and swear words to my dictionary my phone now recognizes them. Occasionally if I know I will be typing something that wont be in my dictionary rather than adding it if I don’t think I will be using it that much I just click the little button at the side of the screen to turn off autocorrect. It is really easy to do on HTC phones. I dont know how quick it is to turn on and off mid-text on other phones.

I’m curious what iPhone users do then.

If I remember correctly, when I first got my iPhone 3 yrs ago, I turned it off entirely. But then it was necessary to completely switch fields every time I. needed to put so much as a period at the end of a sentence.

And that’s its own kind of tediousness altogether because it no longer inserts the period and extra space, the next sentence isn’t capitalized, single letter “I” doesn’t get capitalized etc, etc, etc.

The iPhone’s keyboard contains only lowercase letters, nothing else. Everything else requires a change of field. That constant switching back and forth is ridiculous and really really tiresome.

At least Android keyboards usually contain commas and periods on the main screen.

I thought I could leave the vagaries of iPhone behind by getting an android tablet but the keyboard SUCKS. Controlling the cursor for placement to edit things is a nightmare and scrolling up or down in a text field (for composing this post) is impossible.

On iPhones. Its precise and stable for both so 99% of the time i Fluther on iPhone again.

Why do they make it such an all or nothing deal? Why not give the human the ability to configure it for one’s own writing style?

Aaarrrgh.

Maybe you should go to apple and tell them your idea that you design what goes on which button in regards to punctuation and switching between having autocorrect on and off when typing on your own phone. Maybe they can put that feature into the Iphone 5..

turn. it. off. It’s simple and it works.

I love this question. I have a dumb phone, so it’s not an issue for me, but I see my friends cursing the iPhone auto-correct all the time. It’s kind of funny, from the other side.
