So if there is one feature the iPhone has that drives me insane, it’s the auto-correct. It’s great for when I’m trying to type (tap?) quickly and it’ll finish my words for me, but it has the annoying tendency of INSISTING on a word that I don’t mean.
Take for instance yesterday.
I had a rough day.
John texted me to ask me to go running with him last night, and I replied, “Probably not. I feel like hell.” And I wanted it to say hell. (Sorry for those of you who feel that hell is a bad word. Moving on.) But the iPhone kept auto-correcting it to he’ll. I’d erase, type hell, it’d auto-correct he’ll. We did this for a minute before I FINALLY typed Hell. Which was annoying, because for some reason I felt that it undermined just how tired and awful I felt to use the proper noun, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the right version of the word.
And for some reason, whenever I type I love you very fast, it always turns into “Internet.”
I think it’s a conspiracy.
I feel really annoyed by that, and I don’t even text!
Goodness, turning off auto-correct was the first thing I did with my iPhone. Even before I set my wallpaper to a picture of my cat. I share your hatred.
Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction
hilarious. i would feel even more like hell if it took me two full minutes to TYPE hell.
