Clearly

I just typed in bc and it tried to do abc

 

[Chris]

I haven't actually typed because in my phone in forever so idk why it's trying to change bc to something else now

Autocorrect has fucked up more convos than an unsolicited dick pic

 

[Sabretooth]

i also have a friend named mikey and it always tries to make it Miley. I'm not talking about the singer goddamn it

 

[Chris]

to be fair to autocorrect, I think it does more good than bad, it's just we notice the bad shit more than when it fixes our regular typos...which is my case is a lot

 

[Sabretooth]

true

 

[Chris]

It's better than having to click your 7 button 4 times to type an S like how texting used to be smh

 

[Smart Marx]

Auto is useful AF because it allows me to be lazy and type fast, but man can it make me look stupid when it changes the wrong things.

 

[Chris]

I just hate when people only focus on the negatives for things that are better than what they were before, autocorrect is just a minor example of that

 

[Smart Marx]

True.

 

[Deezy]

I miss keyboards....I never made mistakes and typed faster

 

[Smart Marx]

I will say I prefer predictive text and spellcheck on computers to auto correct on phones. It's harder to change to the wrong things when I have to actively fix what it tells me is wrong than when it does it for me.

 

[Chris]

The only phone I had that had a legit keyboard before I got ones with touchscreens was so small, it was hard af to type the right things

 

[Chris]

I can type fast af on a computer, so I always prefer that to anything on a phone
