I dont, because I dont feel like getting correxted by a fucjing program. So whay if I make a lotvof typos?
Yes. Disabled, faster.
Red squigglies, yes.
Auto-correction, fuck no. Not on anything except maybe in visual studio for snippets because it actually matters.
Anywhere else, though, just get better at typing and have fun embracing imperfections and silly typos.
Literally, to err is human.
… To fix errors, divine.
I did, but I just turned it off two seconds ago. I had been fed up for a while with all the “ducking” and other stupid autocorrects that I did not intend. I can type well enough and if not, that’s on me. But autocorrect makes worse errors than I do. I usually proof read my texts anyways, so that should catch 99% of all preventable errors.
Add those words to your dictionary to stop them from autocorrecting. You can also add them as a contact and it will autocorrect towards that word, so I can get my phone to want to correct to “fucking”.
I’ve been doing that for half a year or so. It’s still shit, so I’m giving up on autocorrect.
No. Because I don’t want to rewrite everything it got wrong, and when you regularly write in three different languages that happens constantly.
Also, it makes the onscreen keyboard bigger.
Of corse
i disabled auto correct and predictive text. do i make more typos, yes, but it is better than having my sentences change as i type. i got so frustrated with words changing as i typed
I wonder if relying on autocorrect can sort of be manipulated or corralled by an algorithm
I have it on but I do toy with the idea of turning it off occasionally.
My biggest problem with typing is I will “accidentally a word” a lot in sentences.
Try it. It’s quite freeing ;)
Yes, to my determinate
For anything on my PC, usually yes. For texting or simple messaging, yes. For Lemmy, no, any spelling errors here are genuine human fuck-ups.
I have SwiftKey. Autocorrect is switched off, but it still auto, ahem, “corrects”. Because apparently when you type “have” you must have meant “haven’t”.
Does anyone know a keyboard that doesn’t do dumb shit like that?
Yes, because my spelling is atrocious and I need help.
Duck auto carrot.
Jokes aside, I prefer to have errors be marked with an angry red squiggly line and suggestions. No automation beyond an upper case letter at the beginning of a sentence. Even that is too much on a computer.
I use it on my phone for text messages, but I’ve realized that over the years, I’m starting to forget how to spell some words. I should probably stop using it to reprogram my brain.
Yes. Autocorrect has gotten better and better with my typing as it learns the words I type. It takes into account where on the wrong letters that I’m typing to figure out the actual word. I’m pretty fast at typing on my phone.
Yes, I gave far finders.
