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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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