Predictive text.

[Charles OatesParticipant @charlesoates31738]

Can anyone tell me how to turn off automatic spelling correction on here?

I checked my last post before submitting it and it seems I was talking about toast, socks someone with an unknown father and a strange possibly illegal act! OK, I'm exaggerating a little, but not much. It's very annoying to type a word in and see it replaced with another.

The sixth icon along the top line above this text (as I'm typing) has an ABC plus a tick. One of the drop-down menu options is spell-check as you type. If you turn it on there are other options. Not certain about it but that might have some relevance. I'm trying to fathom out what it wrote for you – and failing horribly!

BTW Did you know that the bloke who invented predictive text died yesterday? His funfair will be on monkeys.

Ah ha, thanks Dave. I've just seen the scayt option. I had to Google it, I thought a scayt was a posh fish.

Spell check as you type! Before I altered the setting it changed scayt to scatter and scones. What it did to insert prop shaft all the way with a fat washer on the prop end, you can work out for yourself.

Cheers,

Chas
