Anybody else fed up with autocorrect?
Or have you had any good ones recently?

Got to admit it's driving me potty. Not so much the spell check (that can be handy), it's the random autocorrects. Like when I correctly type an actual word it feels the need to change it to another word that makes no sense!
Stop turning my posts into word salad!

It has literally just now autocorrect the word houseproud into boisterous!I
I mean......huh?

Oh god yes, it's so annoying. My phone always decides I mean "good" when I type "food" and just corrects it every time.

It’s ducking annoying! I changed my phone dictionary to Gaelige to stop it doing it in the end. Welsh would probably equally stymy it.

I had to turn the setting off on my phone, because it kept changing everything English into something unrelated in Welsh. Now, I do know a little Welsh, and I am learning, but I do at least try to keep English- and Welsh-language conversations separate! (Also, some of the changes were completely random and were words that I didn't know, so had to ask about, which led to some interesting conversations...!)

I’ve been learning Spanish for a couple of years, without fail my phone changes it to Spanking every time.
