    No, my keyboard doesn’t support it, and I don’t much like it, anyways. It forces me to slow down slightly and re-read what I wrote.

    I don’t see a need for autocorrection, when I have autocompletion. When I make a typo, I just press the correct version on the suggestion row of my keyboard.

    To be honest, I can’t comprehend how so many people can withstand autocorrection and not use completions.

    I turned everything off about 2 years ago after getting annoyed by autocorrect making more mistakes than me. I like that the keyboard takes up less space and my typing has improved dramatically since then. I can type whole paragraphs now without making a single typo. I regret nothing.

      I guess it’s worth the effort for me then I’ve let FUTO keyboard do corrections for me but since I switch between languages all the time the autocorrect messing up every single word.

    No. Because I don’t want to rewrite everything it got wrong, and when you regularly write in three different languages that happens constantly.

    Also, it makes the onscreen keyboard bigger.

    I have it on but I do toy with the idea of turning it off occasionally.

    My biggest problem with typing is I will “accidentally a word” a lot in sentences.

    I use it on my phone for text messages, but I’ve realized that over the years, I’m starting to forget how to spell some words. I should probably stop using it to reprogram my brain.

    I have the spell check toggled on, but not autocorrect. I hate having my text changed when it is what I actually want, but having the mistakes underlined so I can fix them manually can be useful

    I spell most words just fine, but swipe implies some level of autocorrect, anyway. With physical keyboards of course not.

    Red squigglies, yes.

    Auto-correction, fuck no. Not on anything except maybe in visual studio for snippets because it actually matters.

    Anywhere else, though, just get better at typing and have fun embracing imperfections and silly typos.

    Literally, to err is human.

    Yes. Autocorrect has gotten better and better with my typing as it learns the words I type. It takes into account where on the wrong letters that I’m typing to figure out the actual word. I’m pretty fast at typing on my phone.

    Duck auto carrot.

    Jokes aside, I prefer to have errors be marked with an angry red squiggly line and suggestions. No automation beyond an upper case letter at the beginning of a sentence. Even that is too much on a computer.

    Autocorrect on the phone, suggestions on computer. Grammar check is junk, though, as 95% of the world isn’t - checks notes - American, and don’t follow the prophet Webster.
