More like auto-INCORRECT!

I love typing on laptops. I love how over the years my typing speed has become faster and faster. I also love how a majority of the time I'm not even looking at the keyboard.
But as for typing on phones? Oh my goodness I hate it! I can type pretty quick there too but all the "auto-correct" slows me down because more than half the time, it's actually wrong.
Since when does anyone tell somebody to "duck off" ?
Or man! The amount of times I've tried to reply back to someone telling them "I'm good" only for it to come out as "I'm food." Like seriously!

@VivaLaDani13 I try to avoid doing anything that requires a lot of typing on my phone. Everything takes about 10 times longer.

@WorDazza I wonder if I can turn mine off. I have no clue but you've given me something to think about and see if my phone can do that.
Oh boy!

@VivaLaDani13 I have the bad habit not to read the manuals, but I inspect the various settings and options and I usually find what I search.

@LadyDuck So true! I am not so good with phones. I mean I know the basics but I don't know if I can turn auto-correct off. I will have to see if I can do it or maybe my brother will know.

@rebelann That sucks! I've never dealt with that on a PC or laptop before. That would annoy the crap out of me though!

I don't use the auto correct function on my tablet. It sometimes confuses me.

I can't think of any specific words right now, but you are correct about the auto-correct being wrong half the time. It drives me nuts when I'm typing on my phone.
I wish auto-correct had more intelligence to help us out when we do type the wrong words. Even on my laptop I sometimes make errors. I hate the fact that the "T" and the "G" are so close together on the keyboard. I once sent a message to my boss, and tried to end the message with "Regards," but that's not how it came out.

@DocAndersen I'm sorry. Though, I've never noticed you being bad at spelling. Unless you're using MyLot on your phone? Even then, I know not everyone is good at spelling. I struggle with a lot of words often myself.

You are pretty good at typing. I normally have a slow typing speed and I am on the lookout for a way to improve my typing speed. Any suggestions please would be highly appreciated.

@Treborika Thank you very kindly for your compliment!
The only thing I can suggest is just practice. There are probably free YouTube videos out there with typing exercises to help gain you speed over time.
