Janeway Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I am so sick of autocorrect changing things I say, no warning, and sometimes, not even until a few words later. There are crazy things I cannot say via my computer because for some odd reason, my MacBook won't allow me to override some of the autocorrections. I can't put in my own email address. It won't allow it. I cannot even use the prefix bio with any ending other than logy. It won't even give me the option to cancel the autocorrect. Anyway, I almost sent a legal notice to someone today and it had autocorrected "most likely" to "not likely." Huge difference in meaning!!! Autocorrect is just causing me so many problems. It used to show me a suggested word and give me the option to use it. Now it just puts in the different words and I frequently have no choice.

I have the worst problems texting on my phone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaniemom Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I turned autocorrect off on my phone because it kept changing "deaf" to "dead". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The autocorrect on my phone says "you disgust me" every time I use the word you without any notice. I really upset my daughter this way last winter. She thought she was in trouble. Remember my 'marinara" plants last year, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
