      Because you didn’t proofread. Don’t blame technology for your shortcomings.

        Seriously why I turn off autocorrect. 80% of the time, the autocorrection is worse than submitting a damn normal typo. It’s bad enough when it’s only trying to correct spelling. All the autopunctuation and junk is just pure suffering… I hate a one-character typo turning in to erasing a whole-ass wrong word with extra capitalization that’s not even supposed to be there just because I hit spacebar before noticing.

        This isn’t exactly a formal writing space. I post almost exclusively from my phone. I’m a terrible type on my phone, freely admitted, but I do what I can to correct things. Sometimes it just gets missed, though. I make an effort to edit, but at the end of the day, this is just going to a bunch of dummies on the Internet, not someone who matters to my life. I’ll put in exactly what I feel is the appropriate effort.

        Sometimes people genuinely don’t know correct syntax. If you’re going to call that a shortcoming, you’re an ignorant walnut. Intellectual superiority is a shitty way to pretend to be better than someone else. It often incorrectly assumes everyone types the same language with the same proficiency which is a very provincial assumption.

      Gboard does it too. I’m fairly certain I use the possessive form of “its” more often than the contraction “it’s,” but the damn thing sees an s at the end of a word and is like “that’s GOTTA be a contraction!”
