Mine is getting worse! It is even adding my misspellings to the dictionary so now if there is a word i am not sure of it is giving me a choice of 3 or 4 previous wrong attempts with the correct spelling mixed in. It's like a lucky dip.....

I wonder if a factory reset would help? It used to work really well up until a few months ago.

Delete custom dictionary or disable it.

I tried switching mine off. However, with litre or no feeling in two fingers my typing quickly became gibberish (more so than my normal gibberish) so I reactivated it. Amusing random words are better wardrobe eagle asphalt.

Well no. It's the stupid software used for this site that's the problem. Autocorrect and autocomplete are useful features when all you have is a small touch keyboard. And theyvthbern around for long enough that any software developer which doesn't support them doesn't deserve to stay in business.

Recently my phone has developed a habit of changing words in in a message as I hit the send button, I then have to send another text telling the recipient of the error.

Is that what you told the Magistrate after you were arrested for stalking Lindsay Lohan?
