Today, I was typing out a text message: "Okay, sounds good." When I was typing, I accidentally typed "food" instead of "good." I've made this typo before in iOS4, but it just kept "food." iOS5 corrected it to "good." I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this, but is iOS5's auto correct "smarter"?
Got a tip for us?

Is iOS 5 autocorrect "smarter"?

For me, every time I type "ate" it corrects it to "are." "No, I'm not hungry, I just are a burrito..." I've typed it slowly and correctly many times and it always 'corrects' it to "are" unless the first letter is capitalized. I swear it makes far worse guesses than iOS4 when typing fast. It shouldn't fix real words ever. I think damnyouautocorrect.com will live on for a long while.
I've also found iOS5's autocorrect to be much, much smarter. I can just flap away at the keyboard with my thumbs and it almost always comes out right ever since upgrading to iOS5. It seems like it's using logic to determine what the next word should be along with the keys you've pressed.
not so smart or too smart ==
I typed kekeke at the end of the sentence and pressed sent button and I found out, kekeke was automatically corrected into "jerker" -_-
