How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.
My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me... It constantly changes "me" to "Mr" or "MT" and dumb shit like that.. I spend more time correcting 'autocorrects' than typing text.. Why is it so bad suddenly??
I was wondering if it was just me. My Gboard autocorrect has had a stroke the last couple weeks.
Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos
Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit
I personally don't use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.
What are the reasons if you don't mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.

In my experience as a fellow polyglot, Google's autocorrection is good most of the time, and horribly unusable once in a while. At one point it attempted to correct every single word in a sentence.
As someone with dyslexia I definitely still find a way sometimes.
