Everyday I miss my blackberries - people say autocorrect is sogood nowadays but I have never seen it. Typing on a screen consisntely results inerrosraiwhenevrt I’m texting someone. I always slid out the keyboard on my Priv when I had something important or precise to type out.

This paragraph was typed relying solely on my autocorrect to fix any mistakes .

      No feedback and poor sensitivity lead to more typos, and autocorrect has a habit of “correcting” words spelled correctly into a different word that doesn’t even fit the context and doesn’t even work at all on extremely mistyped words.

        • IDK… It might be skewed simply because it is kind of an unpopular opinion with techies. The average person might not care enough, or prefers touch screens.

          That kind of thing is the only reason I don’t really think these posts should necessarily be removed. Even Reddit being as big as it is/was only barely touched the surface of civilization as a whole. Sure, it might be unpopular or popular on the website; but it may be the opposite among the general public.

      When I had my BB priv I was indeed a bit faster but the accuracy was so bad if I was doing anything more than responding to a quick text and who cares about typos it was easier to slide that boi out than go back and fix a bunch of errors.

      Perhaps my big ass thumbs are part of the problem
