Im over spellcheck on phones. I'll look the other way when something is typed all wacky from a phone.
I can't stand the amount of times my phone tries to force apostrophes into places that don't need them. So many plurals that should just end in " s " become " 's ". "Were" also gets changed to "we're" despite it not making any sense in context.
Also, separate issue, but it seems like autocorrect can almost never comprehend the possibility that I hit the wrong button for the first letter of a word.
Spellcheck on my phone often tries to spellcheck my usernames and passwords, but I can't work out how to turn it off.
If your phone isn't learning that your username is correct, there's probably a "personal dictionary" you can add it to so it doesn't get flagged.
Come to think of it, spellcheck wasn't the issue. It was auto-correcting my username and passwords.
I see! I just assumed that's what you meant.
