Because you didn’t proofread. Don’t blame technology for your shortcomings.
[No, I’m not an apple fanboy. I just hate the excuse “It happened on its own”]
This isn’t exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I’m a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I’ll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.
Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.
Seriously why I turn off autocorrect. 80% of the time, the autocorrection is worse than submitting a damn normal typo. It’s bad enough when it’s only trying to correct spelling. All the autopunctuation and junk is just pure suffering… I hate a one-character typo turning in to erasing a whole-ass wrong word with extra capitalization that’s not even supposed to be there just because I hit spacebar before noticing.
If you proofread before hitting send or submit then autocorrect learns from that.
Not if I turn it off because I don’t want my phone analyzing everything I do. I don’t need a spy in my pocket. Especially true for voice assistants.
I type better than the fucking autocorrect corrects anyways, so I’ll take typos that are easy to spot over “corrected” words that are grammatically wrong and harder to spot every time.
