The regression in autocorrect is also nuts. It seems to aggressively modify grammar to the point of regularly changing the meaning of what I’m writing. It’s like a CS undergrad project where they went too hard on Markov chains.
- bombcar 3y agoIt’s absolutely horrible- it will go back and modify correct words for whatever forsaken chain it decided it wants. I hate it.

- johncalvinyoung 3y agoUgh, so true. I'm both a software developer and an avid reader of literature & philosophy, so my day to day word stream is both extremely varied, and frequently allusive with cryptic phrases and idioms. Not to mention the fact I do actually care about correct punctuation. Autocorrect and voice typing have long since given up on me.
- bombcar 3y agoYou can help "a little bit" by adding some auto-replacements to the keyboard setup, but it doesn't work very well. It would be really nice if there was a dictionary you could add technical words to.
