I've never been great about spotting and fixing typos in posts, mainly because I don't give them more than a quick once-over, but lately auto-correct has been adding typos to otherwise correct sentences and I find that extremely annoying.

My experience lately is that I'll type a word CORRECTLY, but autocorrect will still decide I must have intended to type a different, more common word instead. And it'll get extremely finicky when I try to fix it. Sometimes the replacement word isn't even all that common.
I swear to God this is true! It has to be. I swear I type or swipe the words I mean and the autocorrect goes back and changes things as I'm still typing, but it changes words at the beginning of the sentence where I'm no longer looking so I miss it. It feels like it's gaslighting me 😅
I'm not sure if it's my imagination or not, but auto correct seems to act differently depending on which app I'm on. Like I get a lot more weird corrections when I'm posting here than if I'm just texting someone
I don't know if it's the same thing you are talking about, but on my Android phone, the voice to text worked really well until about four or five months ago. Now it's about 60% of what it once was. It's really frustrating
Autocorrect has gotten considerably worse. Sometimes I will type too fast and it will think I’m swipe typing and put a bunch of random letters and spaces everywhere. It’s so odd
I'll mistype a word and autocorrect will then change not only that word, but also the previous word into a completely different phrase that doesn't even grammatically fit with the sentence. Makes me wanna smash my phone
oh lord I thought it was just me, then I thought well maybe my phone is messing with me. But it is only happening on certain apps. Now after about 20 deletes of post and having to rewrite, I have learned to proof read prior to posting.
For me, it's mostly incorrectly auto-correcting Jaylen Brown to Jalen Brown and Jalen Brunson to Jaylen Brunson. It's a tough life posting about both the Celtics and Knicks...
lmao yes that is what inspired this post, I had "federalist society" written out by was over the character limit and so deleted the end of each word, which is how I know it was spelled how I wanted it to be spelled, and then autocorrect "fixed" it for me

That is just downright strange and a little suspicious.
Difficulty: impossible somehow
