Has your typing/spelling went downhill since you got a smartphone?

[Anonymous]

As the subject asks...has your typing or spelling went downhill since owning a smartphone?

With the advent of autocorrect and word-suggestion, I've found that I've stopped putting apostrophes in places where they should be when typing on a proper keyboard! I also struggle to place capital letters at the start of sentences!

I dont use predictive text and never have done so thankfully this isn't a problem haha.

So have any of you noticed that you're having to go back and sort things that you've typed on a regular basis?

Mine would turn in her grave too (if she was dead) - and saw the spelling and punctuation in here!

"If she were dead" to be precise!

Hell, yes... -.- (Everyone says it's lovely though..Just I don't like it ... [tbh, never liked it.])

But typing spelling in sms really went bad, especially because I type to fast without reading it afterwards - If I send an iMessage to my US-friend, it's sometimes mixed with German words, because the phone just knows the German dictionary

As I said the other day, my spelling/grammar is pretty much spot on, even on SMS texts, that's why my bills are expensive, cos I send long fully worded texts with full spelling and puncuation etc.

Are you sure, as there are two mistakes in your post above?

Not a fan of spell check then

No, it has not and why? well that's simple:

If I am at home: I will use the web text service and reply to them from my computer

If I am out and about: I call them up and talk to them about the matter they texted me with.

Ding-batting about with tiny physical keyboards (ex: black berry)  or onscreen keyboards which give you insane auto-corrrects (iphones) sometimes is not something I like doing.
