Words that your iPhone autocorrects you on, that ultimately piss you off!

[dontwalkhand]

This is why I said time and time again that iOS needs some sort of grammar checking mechanism to prevent stuff like this from happening.

For me the list is just a few that I can think of at the top of my head.

Many = Manu
New = née

Yes apple, because someone like me definitely uses those words on a daily basis! Gah!

Check out damnyouautocorrect.com, it's hilarious.

Yeah really freaking annoying.

Or how it physically will not let you type Yo or alot.

iOS 5 actually fixes ALOT of these problems, I've noticed. Especially with the ability to add words to the dictionary.

AMD = and

a lot more

I just want to switch it off.

 

[msb3079]

hell = he'll

**** = shot

 

[stewart715]

not a big one but how i type mhm and it automatically assumes i'm saying MGM

 

[stewart715]

AMD = and

a lot more

I just want to switch it off.

iOS 5 fixes all of this:

-You can enable spell check but disable auto-correct
-You can add words to the dictionary
-You can add shortcuts to the dictionary
-Overall autocorrect and typing is better and easier

I thought about switching it off, but with my large hands and limited movement, it would make my sentences much much worse.

If I type in iOS perfectly fine, sometimes it leaves it alone, sometimes it changes to Ops. Why does it do this if I'm typing it perfectly fine?

Another super annoying one:

SSD = sad

That is a good improvement but it still lags way behind the rest of the world.

As for keyboards that I feel have it right I would point to Swiftkey for Android. That one as a great way for auto correct and learns from you (just like iOS in theory does) but it is a lot easier to over ride the autocorrect than on iOS.

The first time I typed "Menlo Park" on my (Android) phone it turned into "Menopause Park."

I only noticed after I sent the text.

 

[dukebound85]

jdw turns in to jew. Really annoying as jdw is part of my email and other things

Another super annoying one:

SSD = sad

Haha!

"Unfortunately, sads still need to go down in price"

Mhm = MGM. I absolutely HATE when they autocorrect that. What the **** is MGM.

To = TI

So annoying. When I'm typing fast. I always think I hit to and I miss it and it chooses TI!

 

[ThaDoggg]

noob=noon

No matter how many times I click the small "x" in hopes that it will learn to use noob it's useless.

 

[Krafty]

For some reason, mine changes "as" to "A's"

 

[Mascots]

"me" corrents to "mr"
"the" to "thr"

Up until iOS 5, it's been pretty crappy, but iOS 5 fixes most of these problems and I've added custom words for others it still has trouble with.

Mhm = MGM. I absolutely HATE when they autocorrect that. What the **** is MGM.

A very successful hotel here in Vegas.

Personally I hate the hell = he'll

 

[UngratefulNinja]

For= fir

 

[kppolich]

grrrrr to Gerry. What is Gerry anyway? I just want to text me frustrations in PEACE

 

[neko girl]

like = Luke, I mean how many times do you type Luke

 

[scottgroovez]

I hate iOS auto correct so much I switched it off. Not having the spell check is a bummer, but I prefer misspelled words to wrong context words.

So, you don't watch movies.

On the other hand, I have no idea what mhm means.
