Re: Auto-Correct?
Whenever I can, I switch auto-correct off. I'm capable enough to make my own mistakes. I don't need any help in that.

Re: Auto-Correct?
It can come up with the correct spelling if you set it to UK English (in Australia) but can still insert a completely wrong word. Like trying and help someone with a bad stammer.
You need to thoroughly proof read after auto-correct which seems counterintuitive.

Re: Auto-Correct?
Why does one suppose that I use the term "auto-corrupt" instead of what the marketers would prefer?

Re: Auto-Correct?
If you stick with it, it learns your writing style and, in my case at least, has become pretty good at correcting all of the mistakes I make as I type. I tend to use the phone only for txt messages and brief replies to emails. My 'quality browsing time' is almost always carried out on a desktop or laptop using a traditional keyboard. It is beyond me how people manage to use phones and iPads and the like to do all of their browsing.
