I haven’t been here much since I joined last week, but one thing I noticed is I’ve barely seen any typos on Lemmy. While I definitely don’t mind seeing the occasional typo, the number of spelling mistakes was getting annoying, and it’s gotten progressively worse over the last year or so.
I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.
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??
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.
Edit: Yep you get an automatic 1 upvote. So that means people here are also “Downvote the question and upvote the answer” type. Can y’all stop this please?
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.
I think many of the typos were on purpose. The idea was to get engagement and telling OP that they misspelled something was engagement. It’s “algorithm think”

How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.
Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos
Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit

I was wondering if it was just me. My Gboard autocorrect has had a stroke the last couple weeks.
As someone with dyslexia I definitely still find a way sometimes.
I personally don’t use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.

it’s simpler when you use speech to text, or use autocorrect dictionary of wrong language
My pet peeve is when people put a space before the full stop or the exclamation mark. Something like this !
You monster, how could you ?
