I have noticed the rather arbitrary in which my $.99 USD I-Phone edits my literary efforts. I can recognize it in others too. The key is the abrupt sentence endings. Also the proximity of the " back" to the M key.
Once you have had your I phone butcher what you try to write, you recognize it in others.
I see above an extra typical space after " too.

Why a $.99 USD I Phone? I traded in my elderly Samsung for a brand new 2 year old one at the Verizon store.

It's spell check and corrections are rather spectacular too. I got Shevardnadze suggested by typing a mere shv by accident.

Note the apostrophe abuse above. "It's" in the above context is incorrect but the I-Phone did it anyway.

It's just too damn smart for its own good.

I really hate it when the autocorrect adds an "m" or an "n" between words. Does anyone know of a way to turn this off?

Usually its You hitting the keys since their on top of the space bar.

My phone loves to modify my postings. Fortunately I am already in the habit of reading things over before submitting anyway, so few of the oddities make it through.

The automatic spellchecking on this phone drove me crazy, so I've had it turned off for at least the last year. I still make mistakes, but at least the weight of my many linguistic sins now lies solely on my clumsy mind and hands.

I can't remember the comedian this came from , but …

We think it's arrogant that Google makes a recommendation after just one letter.

Maybe it is mad that you call it an I-Phone when its name is iPhone.

Cheers,

Use Siri :-)

Actually it is amazingly accurate 99% of the time once you get used to it

You have to proofread as you type. No different than using a word processor. It's how I do 90% of my posts, and most of my errors are from my fingers shifting over by a key for an entire word.
