We’re all writers or bloggers … we type and write a lot … It’s inevitable that we make some typos or spell errors here and there … that’s why some of us uses auto-correct or dictionary programs …
However, these programs had “removed” our “characteristics” – maybe auto correcting your favourite certain non-english word and created some of the funniest “jokes” of all times …
Do you find them annoying or helpful, in most cases?

I agree that they are both annoying and helpful, depending on the situation.
Yes, that is usually the case 🙂
I use a Gogl compiler which is disastrous
I’ve never heard of that one …
but most autocorrection aren’t that good … :p
Sometimes Im marked as wrong spelling for using New Zealand words. Spell check marks it wrong. We use English spoken in Britain, but not as American spelling.
I just put in what I want and ignore spell check if I want to put my spelling in certain ways but in some ways its quite useful.
Yes, the “z” and “s” I assume, like “recognize” or “recognise”?
I face this problem a lot, even with Words. I’ve a huge “sea” of red lines -_-
I think spellcheck is a great use of technology, but autocorrect/autosuggest isn’t really mature enough yet to be much more than a nuisance. In a decade or so, they’ll probably be fine
Yes, I agree with you. I hope they do improve it …
but hmm … it still depends on the lingo …
I hope someone invent something for slangs :p
it should be easy enough to have a slang lexicon that updates periodically…
Alex, they need you!!
I’ve done jobs like that before…
O… it’s their lost they can’t keep u …
not a lot of SQA going on in my neck of the woods anymore
I think autocorrect is helpful but I personally don’t use it often.
I use it rarely…
had it turned off on my phone
Yeah I can’t stand autocorrect in my phone haha I just don’t like to send random corrections to my contacts
LOL, I’m just afraid to become a joke … lol
hahah yes exactly! It happens a lot these days.
Its annoying except when i am writing my email.
I know that feeling!!
I’ve turn it off on my phone!
Since I use it more for casual stuffs which I type less formally
They are both annoying and helpful. 🙂
I guess so too…
I really depends on your speaking style …
Since I type a lot of Singlish, it does makes some really funny changes … so I’ve turned it off.
:p
However, because English is not my language, the app still helps me, even though it is sometimes troublesome, and makes us often have to check repeatedly. Hzzz… What the duck!
On the other hand, maybe it makes us all more civil!!
Duck it!
