A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.

[–] StarManta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos

Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit

My autocorrect on my Galaxy s22+ is actually a detriment to me... It constantly changes "me" to "Mr" or "MT" and dumb shit like that.. I spend more time correcting 'autocorrects' than typing text.. Why is it so bad suddenly??

I personally don't use auto correct for a couple reason, so typos still happen from time to time.

What are the reasons if you don't mind me asking? I write in 3 languages on the same mobile keyboard and it does a fantastic job correcting my spelling.

In my experience as a fellow polyglot, Google's autocorrection is good most of the time, and horribly unusable once in a while. At one point it attempted to correct every single word in a sentence.

it's simpler when you use speech to text, or use autocorrect dictionary of wrong language

As someone with dyslexia I definitely still find a way sometimes.
