Why does G@G autocorrect suck so bad?

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...

    • The auto emojis. Ughhhhhh 3) 8)

    • I wanted a C followed by a : I didn't want a fucking emoji / emoticon. If I wanted one, then I would have added one with my keyboard or character selector. This place - and lots of other software coders now too - violate the First Rule of Coding: >>> Do nothing unless the user unambiguously asks it to be done.

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

    The site shouldn't change your words.

    • Exactly!

    • lol... it changed b t w to by the way!

    • It changes b f to boyfriend (when i actually meant breastfeeding!), g f to girlfriend, f w b to friends with benefits, i m o to in my opinion.

  • 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.

    • It is my phone settings it turns out. But its worse on gag than anywhere else. I shut off spell check.

  • 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.

    • Holy shit, it replaced it even when I put quotes around it above. I was trying to write "B. F." (I put dots between and hopefully it doesn't replace it this time).

    • Jesus Christ, this pisses me off so much. I want to throw beer cans at the screen. Lemme at least edit the damned thing if the site is going to do this.

    • When i say B F i mean breastfeeding. 🤣 And it autocorrected that to boyfriend too. Sooooo wrong. Lol

  • Are you sure you haven't been drinking and it's just your fingers not hitting the wrong key?

    • Mmhmm. Not sausage fingering this time. Not that i haven't done that before.

    • I don't think they have an auto correct here. Every time I misspell it stays there and since we can't edit our posts it makes us look like an idiot when it happens.

  • 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🤷‍♀️

    • I’m convinced my phone and gag do not play well together.

    • I turned off my autocorrect. Now I make a lot of spelling errors, but no more changing my words. Lol

    • Haha can never win can we.. smh

  • Yes all the damn time for example clouds- clowns red- rod what the hell 🤬 frustrating 😠

  • 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.

    • Lmao. Some autocorrects can be epic.

  • 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

    • Your last paragraph is my case in point

  • 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

    • Lol. Yes i do read your voice to text novels.

    • Well when you can actually understand what I'm saying I think they're pretty good but when I push send and then re-read it and only half of my words that I've said we're in there where the other half came from I don't know but it happens every time. Okay so I just proof read this one everything's good let me push send and see where it goes

  • Yeah I always have to read it after I finished writing to go back and correct all the errors. And then I have to go back again to make sure they made the corrections I wanted.

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

    • You are lucky.

  • 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.

    • How do I deactivate autocorrect on the app on my phone? Is it a setting!

    • *. ?

    • it must be settings for your actual phone, probably on the keyboard settings, language, etcétera, there might be more than one.

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

    • Oh to be a robot and have an auto cock... do you enjoy that?

    • @loves2learn apparently it self lives at well, Or alternatively Apparently it self lubes as well.

    • @chrismaster69 sounds amazing

  • 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.

    • I think iphones and gag dont play well together. I turned off my spell check.

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

    • Yup iphone does not play well with G@G. I think they both need a time out.

  • 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.

  • Yeah it's annoying

  • 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

    • My favorite one is where someone is trying to say Epi Pen and just keeps yelling EPIC PENIS

    • Hahah... nice

  • That is why I now proof read my submissions three times before hitting send. I still miss occasional changed words do to operator error.

  • 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.

    • That’s amazing and yes your typos are epic. 🤣

    • 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

  • 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.

    • Exactly. Lol. I had to turn of spell check in my iphone keyboard settings.

    • Yes, it happens to me a lot. Sometimes it will just take a word out of a sentence like there's a glitch when I hit the space bar or something. Lots of my sentences are missing words. 😅

    • So annoying! Missing words and words that autocorrect when you are way past them.
