Why wouldn’t they use the same dictionary?

    I wanna know why it corrects anything at all when I turned autocorrect off. Most of what it “corrects” was already correct, and the correction changed it to a different spelling or to a word that makes no sense in context. Like it always corrects “its” to “it’s” even when correctly using the possessive form. It kept correcting it just trying to write that last sentence.

    Autocorrect has gotten worse and worse. I can transpose two letters and it won’t suggest the right word, but it’ll suggest the right word with an apostrophe and an S that makes no sense. It’s not wonder so many people think plurals need apos’trophe’s.

    Get one with a swiping feature (not sure if yours has it already). They are way more accurate with autocorrect. I think I used SwiftKey when I was on Android

      The standard Google keyboard has a good swipe, but sometimes needs to be activated.

      It’s WAY better to swipe on the Google keyboard vs pecking at it.

    It’s a calculated scheme to get you to do a search for “aniprrsperient” so they can sell you deodorant
