eddoakley Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Just checking through some of my old posts and I noticed just how poorly they read! Missed punctuation, poor grammar and bad spelling. I've looked at some of the mistakes and am sure that they are down to predictive text, my phone seems to have a mind of its own sometimes. It often makes me cringe reading Facebook posts and I wonder if people are just apathetic or genuinely can't produce a properly written paragraph. So which is it? Edd And please don't hang me over any mistakes in the previous post! Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 The amount of times I have to edit posts due to that, or just a fat thumb is quite shocking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 At least you bother editing. Grinds my gears to try and make out what people are supposed to be typing when the writer could check it in a few seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yes smart phones are great, I send quick msgs to the wife and quite often find my phone has changed words for me. It's then a race to resend the correct msgs before she tells me off for bad grammar and nit checking. Left the above mistake deliberately the number of times I type nit instead of not is unbelievable, and yet my clever phone never changes it 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_seagrave Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I have a great deal of fun with Siri dictating my texts. It must be my accent, but some of his stuff is gold! LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
