This is what I told myself when it comes to mylotting on my iPhone.
And yet I keep doing it.
So I have to continue dealing with the stupid autocorrect feature and the typos that happen.
I will type one word and it will change it to something else entirely.
Sometimes what types is not even a real word.
Or what I end up typing makes no sense.
Among other issues.
Argh!
And then I have to correct it all.
Wonder if I’ve kissed any typos, especially in the comments I leave on here.
I meant missed.

That's ducked up. My new torpedo keeps challenging my birds too.

Whenever I wanted to say the f word it would change it to duck or even offer the duck emoji. The one time I actually wanted to say duck it changed it to the f word.

@lovebuglena I turned it off because I use several different languages, the auto correct only makes a mess.

@LadyDuck autocorrect works with all languages?

I did once. Because the smartphone keyboard keys are way smaller than my fingers it was even worse. So I turned it back on. Maybe I will try it again.

I turned autocorrect off on all my electronic devices. If I can't spell a word, screw it! People can figure it out!

@lovebuglena Have you read about a study done at a University that showed that as long as the first and last letter of a word are in the correct place the rest of the letters can be all jumbled up and we can still read it easily? It was really interesting to me.
Here, I found it for you...

You've probably seen the classic piece of "internet trivia" in the image above before - it's been circulating since at least 2003.

Change what? The auto-correct? I've turned it off once and I made more typos that way. Turned it back on after that.

@sol_cee I blame it on the tiny keys on the iPhone keyboard.

It can get really frustrating when it happens.

I don't have a smartphone; so I don't have that problem.

Do you have a tablet? I think they can do that as well.

I rarely type on my phone, because I lose what I'm posting if the screen goes dark. I don't have the patience for it. Tell me, do you swipe or type on your phone?

I type. Tried the swiping feature and wasn't a huge fan. Easier just to type things out.

Aww how sweet you want to kiss the typos, I am glad I have a laptop to work on and my Grammarly program because when I have a writing project I have to have corrections as I go along,@lovebuglena (52149)

I don't use Grammarly. I just use the Word spell checker but I have to say that it's not always right.
