    I haven’t been here much since I joined last week, but one thing I noticed is I’ve barely seen any typos on Lemmy. While I definitely don’t mind seeing the occasional typo, the number of spelling mistakes was getting annoying, and it’s gotten progressively worse over the last year or so.

        My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me… It constantly changes “me” to “Mr” or “MT” and dumb shit like that… I spend more time correcting ‘autocorrects’ than typing text… Why is it so bad suddenly??

        I personally don’t use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.

          What are the reasons if you don’t mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.

            In my experience as a fellow polyglot, Google’s autocorrection is good most of the time, and horribly unusable once in a while. At one point it attempted to correct every single word in a sentence.

      I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.
