On closer inspection it is inconsistent depending on speed of keyclicks as well as the actual misspelling. Sometimes wildly like "as he OC" (for shocked). Like, what's up with the spaces and caps?

I use a google device, and my greatest pet peeves where the dictionary/ predictive text are concerned is that it constantly tries to change "really" to "Rea" and "well" to "we'll". I find that second one especially bonkers because how often do you think I'm taking about we this or that, google? I never use "well?" I can't say with great certainty that this isn't a me problem, though.

In my experience, you aren't really contending with "android" autocorrect; it seems to vary a lot per manufacturer.

I do get annoyed with my own pixel (so the Google version), mostly over it replacing completely correctly typed words with other 'adjacent' words. Similar to meucakes's example.

And that is definitely stupid as hell - especially if I'm not misspelling anything, maybe I did really intend to type that word I typed. But when I actually misspell something, it seems to do a generally good job at correcting it. Contextual suggestions seem more useful and accurate than the live corrections.

Compared to the last time I had a Samsung android though, this is heaven. That phone would turn nearly any 3-letter word it could get its hands on into "buy." It would also autocorrect suspiciously unrelated jumbles to "Samsung." Meanwhile, it would just sit there and do nothing half the time that something was misspelled by one letter. Oh, and I had to disable automatic "sent from my galaxy" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I dunno probably 8 or 9 times (to be fair, I'm pretty sure they dropped THAT part in later models). But using that phone felt like I was living inside some bizarre Korean capitalist dystopia lol

So I'm not imagining it then. It's so annoying to be typing away only to see "BBB" further back. Why in blazes does Google think I wanted that in my sentence?!?!

Yeah I can't say it's my majority experience, but sometimes it's really adamant about not wanting to type certain words, or trying to replace everything with something specific, like it can get "stuck" on an idea.

I kinda think the corrections are crowdsourced or something, because I see a significant number of words/acronyms that I have literally never typed on purpose on any device anywhere.
