Why does G@G autocorrect suck so bad?

[loves2learn]

I never have this many issues with autocorrect on any other platforms. I swear it changes what I’ve typed to a different word after I’m at least 3 words past so I never notice it.

I’m changes to in
Blown changes to blow
If changes to it
The list goes on...

I wish G@G would stop trying to put words and typos in my mouth. Anyone else?

G@G needs to stop doing auto-ANYTHING.

Many an uneditable post that I have written have been all fucked up by their auto-incorrecting.

For instance, their auto-emoji-ing...
Here is a C and then a : with no space in between. Let's see what happens...

C:

And there you have it...

[RingOfFire]

Agree... for example it changes by the way to "by the way."

The site shouldn't change your words.

I have a friend who got a message from an Asian lady on plenty of fish, and it was obvious that English was not her first language. She wanted to ask about his job or retirement status. Autocorrect stepped in. "Are you working now or are you retarded?". He was kind and ignored the obvious typo. Apparently she didn't realize what she had said because her next reply was "I worked at a hotel, but now I'm retarded, too!"

I have the screen shots to prove this actually happened.

Really? You think so? I find that the voice recognition is really like so so so so good. I do a lot of like voice typing on this and I was just like wow this is like a really awesome. I generally I'm so useless when it comes to using my keyboard I think people might know me but my typos seriously.

I only had the correct one thing on this thing that I used with voice typing.

Lol lmao yours sex no mine sucks have you ever tried to read anything that I've ever written do you even know what it says it's perfect before I click Send but once I could send it says everything but when I said it seems like I was going to show you on this one but look at it's all coming out good now that really sucks
Okay the top one is what I said first and I was going to show you how bad it sucked but for some reason it's working good right now oh my gosh

[AmandaYVR]

Isn't that your phone deciding, and nothing to do with gag?

Whenever I write in gag I'm using the web version on my PC, not the app. I need a full keyboard or fuhgedaboudit.
Autocorrect helps me because I'm a lousy mobile typer. But it's excruciatingly slow so I only read within the app sometimes, mostly just focus on my pms.

[VinceTrackle]

It is ridiculous, I can't just type something and trust that it will be correct.
I always need to go back and fix it or it will post that way.
Now I'll try to type that fast and see what happens.
It's rewarding, I can'tallow just fuck something and rust that itself be direct. I always weed toboggan back and forth it or it will posters that say.

[crazyish]

I noticed this too! I completely miss the words it auto corrects until after I put it out there.. I'm always like wth, that doesn't even make sense.. And the word prediction is also ridiculous lol! I just thought my phone hated GaG🤷‍♀️

[Mangospacho]

Ahh. I’ve noticed the same thing. From what I can guess, GaG is not based in the US so the default keyboard/dictionary is either Dutch or German, which isn’t completely different from English in the sense that we do share some words with both languages that have different meanings.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah I have a few classics since been a member.

it’s tempting at times to simply leave the fucked up words in place.

I would definitely just what the type of sentence you would get by simply letting it do ax it’s wanted to do

[TurboKid]

The one that always trips me up is "boyfriend" in the health and fitness section. It replaces it with "boyfriend" when I'm talking about "body fat". I hate it so much and especially because the site lacks an editing feature.

[Jazquee]

Autocorrect sucks everywhere... to make people laugh. Lol
Have you never read half the autocorrected messages out there...🤣😂 Just go with it. Most of us know what you meant... lifes fun.. just laugh

[Libbers]

I wondered. I use my phone mainly for access to the site and thought it was just that but perhaps it’s the autocorrect on the site it self then.

[NathanDavis]

I always deactivate every and any autocorrect app/feature, I just don't like those things one bit. All mistakes I've made are my own... lol.

[Smashingdoozy]

Don't think I've ever experienced gag auto correcting anything

[InfobotLives]

I never have any problems with auto cock. All my pussies come out exactly as I intended.

[Kaneki05]

I've never seen that. Oh like other people said it was your phone that makes sense. I do notice here tho it changes abbreviated stuff to full out. Such as in my opinion. I put the 3 letters of this but it does the full thing.

[slatyb]

Auto-correct is done by your device or web browser.

[FunkyMonkee]

It DOES? News to me!! I do all my own correcting! This KEYBOARD sucks and makes SHITLOADS of mistakes!! GAG doesn't fix them, I do!!!

[Gwenhwyfar]

D&D Beyond is worse. Especially the character names.

[exitseven]

I notice this too. I also think it's funny this question was posted under the Sexuality topic.

[Andres77]

I was blaming it on my phone, not gag. And I'm trying to get into the habit of proofreading everything before I hit send.
