(On the subject of four letter words it's gone from drunken sailor level to prim and proper schoolmarm. And no matter how hard I work at retraining it, the phone doesn't learn. There were some things that didn't seem to delete when I repeatedly told the phone to delete them, but I had a lot of abbreviations and purposeful misspellings (plus timely proper names) I often use in various specialized groups and with certain people (not to mention four letter words I sometimes use). Pre-update, I had the phone well trained to the way I write. The new predictive text/spelling suggestions have turned my smartphone basically, um, stupid.
Some phones have a user or personal-dictionary option there others require you to choose the keyboard you're using, edit predictive text, and, within that menu, add or remove words from your own word list or the auto-substitution list.Hi, I have a huge problem after the latest Android update. The place to add words to the Android dictionary depends on the phone you're using, but it's usually in the Language and Input section of Settings. Type the word in the Phrase area, and leave the Shortcut blank (unless you want to add a shortcut while you're at it). On an iPhone, head to the Keyboard menu under General settings, and enter any nonstandard word by choosing Add New Shortcut.
You also can go straight to your phone's dictionary. Eventually it will internalize your feedback. If you catch your phone in the act enough times, you can fix the problem by x'ing out the suggestion on an iPhone or long-pressing the word on an Android device and pressing the check mark. Smartphones tend to do pretty well in their correctionsbut sometimes they can be a tad overzealous, automatically changing what you mean to say into an absurd malapropism. Can we teach our phones to stop doing this? My friends and I often text each other about meeting up at the same two restaurants, which have names that our phones always autocorrect to completely different words.
