Why do so many guys blame their bad spelling on their *smart* phones?

How do these devices work? They change your spelling just for the hell of it? I would hate to rely on them for professional work.

they change your words automatically based on the smartphone's preset dictionary. You can turn this autocorrect feature off as well as edit the dictionary, usually by just adding new words all the time. Its more about knowing your phone, nothing more, nothing less.

Amen! Smartphone users blame their spelling errors on the autocorrect feature, but the real culprit is their unwillingness to proofread before they send or post. I'll start the inevitable flame wars by flaming myself: "Proofreading is for old geezers! We young cool dudes are too busy getting pussy (or working out, or growing hair, or whatever) to bother with proofreading!"

I'm unwilling to proof before I post.

I rarely use my smart phone for real work.

My problem is my phone likes to glitch at random times and on-screen keyboards plus big thumbs don't mix well.

Some phones and devices are slow to register touches on characters on the screen and lots of guys have large fingers and the devices have small buttons. In some cases, my iPad fails to register certain letters and then autocorrects to a completely different word than what I typed. If I didn't glance at my posts and do a lot of cirrections, most of what I type would often not make any sense at all. With so many letters missed on the onscreen keyboard, I leave auto correct on because it gets more right than wrong when it skips characters.

my iPad auto correct likes to make the word hot be hit and seems to change o's to I's. Maybe because apple likes I's for some reason. also seems to like making i be a capital letter too.
