Keep calm and carry on....

Hot tip for those that love a good swear and your phone keeps autocorrecting.....    
Create a new contact with all your fav swears in the name box.   No more autocorrect!

I have heard that, I presume it actually works then? Mine is over a year old now so it's well adapted to my sailor's gob LOL however, it absolutely cannot deal with words like marks (top marks) or carries (he carries it) or hopes (she hopes for) etc and insists on correcting them to Mark's, Carrie's and Hope's. Every time. So frustrating.

Ooh, thanks for the top tip! At the moment I'm struggling to get it to put a capital on a single "i" - fairly rudimentary I would have thought! I tried to set it up in the "text shortcuts" but it won't recognise that the two are different 🙄!

Oh well, I'll get there in the end. Still much better than old-school Nokia predictive text back in the day when you always ended up going for a neck instead of a meal and everything was Greta 😂!

Mine corrects 'may' to 'May'. Drives me nuts.

Mine corrects make to Male... why? And so annoying that when it autocorrects and adds a capital it then assumes you want a capital on whatever it was you actually wanted to say, which doesn’t need one!

My old phone, when it suggested words, if it was the first word of the sentence and I clicked whichever word it was it would obviously have a capital at the beginning because it was the beginning of the sentence, and then it would autocorrect all future instances of that word to have a capital too. Because once a capital always a capital? Or something?

My old phone also randomly inserted the word Ingrid into sentences. By the end I assumed that's what the phone's name was, and she just wanted to make sure I was still appreciating her.

i-Say app for surveys, 1poll app for surveys and I do pr0lific on my phone but on the browser but most surveys doable on there.  

So many people say it but redundancy often is the best thing to happen if that makes sense. I wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t been made redundant even though at the time it was dreadful x

Ooh yes, respect Ingrid! Bow down to her or she will stop working and you will be scuppered!

That reminds me of the airing cupboard in my parents' house. It was in the lounge and the doors used to ping open at strange times - my stepdad said it was the house's previous owner (who'd died) making his presence felt! Many conversations were abruptly interrupted by "Fred" - until they asserted their authority by taking the cupboard out 😂!

Thanks DFOD, I'll check those out

I'm hoping it may turn into a positive, just wish it would have happened at ANY other time than right now 😐
