nfbr Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Why does my total pile of crap iPhone auto-correct the word 'me' to become the word 'mr' every time I f*cking type 'me'... The word 'me' is 10000000x more common than the word mr...anyone else got any annoying predictive text problems? p.s. It's only done this since the 4.0+ updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad.C Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've had this problem too.. Also, when i'm trying to say 'mate'.. it changes it to Kate. Very annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henaz Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I turned my predictive text off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I would turn it off but my sausage fingers aren't really suitable for the tiny keyboard on the iPhone can apple not just fix the f*cking thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I hate that it never understands "gunna", always corrects it to "Finns". Because thats more common a phrase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I hate that it never understands "gunna", always corrects it to "Finns". Because thats more common a phrase? To be fair, I can understand that because a ) it's spelt gonna and b ) it's not really a real word I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The iPhone recognizes commonly written words, and it recognizes most words after I write them a few times. Not "gunna". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I have an Android phone. I use it with the phonepad, rather than the QWERTY keyboard.It doesn't have 'if' in the dictionary. So when I type 'if' it changes it to 'id'. Very sensible. I've added 'if' to the dictionary a few times, but it always disappears after a while.When I write '30' it corrects it to '300'.When I try to use a plural of a word, say "Thursdays", it will first suggest "Thursdayp", then "Thursdayq", then "Thursdayr". I need to click the little 'see more' button to get to "Thursdays". Why doesn't it know that if you're adding a letter to the end of a word, chances are it's going to be an 'S'?When I type "Hell", it will quite often change it to "Hello".And other things like that, it will suggest words that are much longer, rather than a word that is the same length as how many letters you've typed. Like if I type "Petal", it changes it to "Retaliate". Other than that it's quite a good phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The iPhone recognizes commonly written words, and it recognizes most words after I write them a few times. Not "gunna".Try typing 'gonna' 10 times in a row with a space between each word. See if that fixes your problem.I read somewhere that if you do that with any word it sets that to default.Might fix the me --> Mr problem too.

Rich Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I have a satio, no problems with predictive text because I can spell, so I just type everything. However, refering to my sig, how can you tell someone has an Iphone? They tell you. . . My housemate never refers to his as simply a phone anymore.
