How many of you leave auto correct on?

[S.B.G]

For my iOS devices, I leave it on. But for OS X Lion, I turned it off.

I forgot about that; I think it's the first thing that I turned off!

Yep, I turned it off within a day I think. For some reason it's annoying on OS X, but not on iOS. 😕

You're more likely to mis-type something on iOS than OS X.

I leave it on all the time on all my devices. It makes the occasional error, and some of the substitutions are very interesting, weird, or funny.

Proofreading is my friend...😀

ALways leaf it one as it alwads wirks so we'll.
Actually joking aside I do always leave it on as I'm an awful speller.

Turned it off ages ago and never looked back.

Always on. I make more mistakes without it than I do with it.

Ever tried to type in foreign language with auto-correct on? Not fun 🙂 I wish there was an easy switch ... R>

I have it on, but for texting I have a 3 second delay on sending the text to give me the opportunity to review the text (my thumb has a tendency to immediately hit send when I think I'm finished.

I had that issue the other day trying to translate something. Eventually it stopped trying to correct, and even removed the red line under the words. I guess either it stopped trying, or figured out I was trying to type spanish.




As for Auto-Correct itself, I leave it on. I tried it with it off and thats when I realized how crappy I type. Auto-Correct saves me more time than not. Plus I try to focus on what I'm typing, so I usually catch it when Auto-Correct screws up.
