I don't know what's more impressive, that terrible auto correct or that I can actually tell what you were going for there (hurray for context clues)
Autocorrect had no hand in that I'm afraid. That mess is all me. My keyboard usually handles that kind of thing pretty well. Multiple words even
It was the distinct lack of autocorrect 😜 For years now I have disabled autocorrect for this reason. Yes, I still make some small mistakes here and there but it forces me to be careful with what I type and to quickly check before I send. That way I don't have a situation where I've typed something expecting autocorrect to save me but it doesn't.
By any chance do you use SwiftKey? I can string together multiple misspelled words and it almost always figures me out.
Nailed it! That's why I can't switch.
