I have no idea why phone markers think they need to have an auto-connect. s**t is annoying as hole.

You know you can turn it off, right?

You can, but it's really just picking the lesser of two evils.

So, you're not happy with auto-correct, but you're not happy without auto-correct?
seroevoSep 13, 2011
Correct. Our choices are between no auto-correct and a an auto-correct seemingly still stuck in the age of number keypad entry SMS's and with limited options.
You can turn off auto-correct, but that also turns off correct spelling. You can't have spelling without auto correct. Which leads to correcting words that aren't even misspelled.
Additionally, unlike non-smartphones I've had in the past, you cannot manually edit the list of words it uses for the auto correct. Once it's saved a word, you can only get rid of it by entirely resetting it's "dictionary."
Then again, I can't set my iPhone to download podcasts bigger than 20 mb, manage apps via the computer without syncing (or manage the phone on more than one computer at home), or enable disk use, so I'm used to arbitrary restrictions on the iPhone (and Apple products in general).

This shot is funny. I never get why people use anal correct with all the mistakes it makes.

This is pretty damn good.

The problem is on an iphone anyway, is there is auto correct and spell check. If you turn auto correct off, it also disables the spell check and it won't let you turn it on unless autocorrect is on. If there was a way around this people would be happy.

What I don't get is why it's so bad compared to other auto corrects.
