I’m a spelling nazi, particularly when writing in English. It’s not my second (practical) language as you guys are my almost exclusive audience and I’ve never lived in an English speaking country or spent over 10 days per year in one. And last time was 20 years ago.

I love electronic devices but the one exception is my iPhone 12. I hate this little shit. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the Samsung I wanted in my country and went with my wife’s choice.
Trading or selling it is risky since it is an expensive status symbol. A lot more things can go wrong than right. Not going to happen.

As I grow old it is likely that I am prone to more mistakes but when I proofread my posts the amount of typos is more than expected. Editing my texts is a royal PITA and frustrates me to no end. I blame this phone.

Still using my old Huawei now and then and I don’t have such trouble.

Sincerely apologize if reading my contributions to this board require an extra effort sometimes. For time being, my brain is fine and my writing skills too, AFAIK.

Not a problem. You speak and write better than most Americans.

It is all good, O-O. Your grammar and spelling are a lot better than most Americans.

Really, you got me beet. :-)

It may not be you.

Like many, I type words correctly and my damn iPhone changes it. Sometimes a real word to gobbledygook and sometimes correct spelling to incorrect spelling.

The Apple team that programmed autocorrect needs to be deported to Oakland and forced to watch the A's play "baseball."

I agree with y’all in that it makes some odd choices at times but if you are both such sticklers about your typing and proofread strongly before posting/sending anyway it may benefit you to turn off autocorrect altogether. Settings>keyboard>autocorrect. It’s on by default but if it saves your sanity, flip the switch.

Your english/typing is much better than many of the natural Americans I run into..

For the record, iSpell or iCorrect is a pain the iAss....

Changing words, typos, all kinds of stuff on those tiny keyboards and I have the 13 pro Max Mega Big Ass Screen.

Couple of friends like to voice to text, it's hilarious what you'll get from them when they fail to proof read before hitting send...

My smell checker makes me say things I didn't Nintendo.

Nicky, you have nothing to worry about. Your contributions are clear and appreciated!

Thank you for the link.
Believe I know my way around iPhones, owned 4 iterations of the devilish iThingy and loved each one of them before this one and just a single chinese Android just before returning to iThingy.

I write mostly in English, to my favorite board and some of its members, very few in Spanish and occasionally in French. OS is in English and I do most of my browsing and searching also in English.
In my cade, autocorrect can’t tell it own virtual arsehole from a binary 0. I do 99.9 % of the typing and hardly ever look at or use the suggestions. I’m too focused on my typing (sight problem) to worry with the autofuckup bot.

I’ve played Jai Alai with nore than a phone in the past but it was out of frustration ut it was out of frustration caused by the toxic person at the other end of the line, never the phone’s fault.
