Not only there. Automatic word replacement is my absolute least favorite iOS mobile feature. I cannot tell you how many times I painstakingly, painfully thumb typed exactly what I meant just to have it changed out from under me. And I have gone back to see nonsense messages where I know I didn't type what was sent. Very frustrating.
- crispyporkbites 8y agoI think this could be corrected if the spell corrector factored in the time taken to write the word out. If the user takes longer than average to write the word they are probably deliberately spelling it out, compared to just mashing the screen to get the words through.
- rietta 8y agoAgreed. I am a touch typist on a regular computer. I literally hate writing on the phone. I find it an utterly odious process. So much for user friendliness from my point of view.

You could even train it on past messages making it more tailored towards particular user.
- cup-of-tea 8y agoI distinctly remember the time when all of a sudden many of my friends started sending me sms messages with really odd mistakes in them. I didn't jump on the smartphone wagon for a number of years so I just couldn't understand how these errors were being made at the time.
