I haven’t been here much since I joined last week, but one thing I noticed is I’ve barely seen any typos on Lemmy. While I definitely don’t mind seeing the occasional typo, the number of spelling mistakes was getting annoying, and it’s gotten progressively worse over the last year or so.
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??
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.
I think people here might be more conscious of what they post, due to the relatively low quantity of things being posted here. On larger platforms, what you write is more likely to be overlooked, so people care less.
I can’t describe how much that nonsense drives me up the wall. You have to go out of your way to put that space there and yet there’s a non-trivial amount of people who do that. So much effort into wilfully making a mistake, over and over! It’s even worse than people who say, “arrive to.” And you can’t tell me that the clowns doing this don’t know what they’re doing is wrong. They’ve definitely seen printed text before, whether it’s a book or even just other people’s comments, and none of it has that extra space.

How do you even make any typos with all the autocorrect nowadays is beyond me.
Autocorrect is the cause of many of my typos
Autocorrect catches all my typos, and for that I’m eternally grapefruit

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

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

My pet peeve is when people put a space before the full stop or the exclamation mark. Something like this !
