Stupid IPads
« on: July 01, 2013, 04:20:03 PM »
Mine cops a memory then corrects  things when I post or send, right or wrong.
Like spelling, the spell cheak corrects words ok but when I press send or post it changes all that to
something else. Like the word "I " I will post this in lower case but it will change it to upper.
This is part of the reason I've been jumped on about this but I'm going to start useing my PC
if this thing can't do any better. It wasn't me putting a space after a period or question mark.
I never payed any attention to it untill someone told me about it but that was NOT the way I posted
it. Also the fonts will change without notice on here I don't know if that is related or something
with the site.


Like this post, I had to go in and fix about ten words as simple as "and".
Anyone got a fix for this?

Auto correct is a pain until you learn to watch for it! Mine makes me blind after a while no matter how large I make the print! I use it for email mostly now and music. Love the old stuff I gleaned from I tunes!
 
The biggest problem I have is some most attachments wont open!

I just got off the phone with an Apple tech. He said this model would set a memory in grammar
and spell cheak. It will learn from what your typing and search for a possible alternative.
One overlooked misspelled word will make it spell that word like that until you correct its memory.
Yea a real pain and not worth the mobility factor.
