So, I've been using android phones for a while now. I've gotten used to the way the typing on those works, the auto correct functions, and the ways deleting and selecting text works. In the job I do at the hospital now, I'm required to keep in touch with the medical staff in the hospital with their Iphones, so I had to start using those.
Getting used to using the thing didn't take too long. It's not too terribly different from an android, but... god damn! The typing function just plain sucks. Like... When I go to tell my medical team "Gmorning!" It just automatically goes to "Fomenting!" And when I take the time to type it out the way the damn machine wants me to by saying "Good Morning Jen," all the sudden I am insulting someone by calling them "Ymir big Jen!" I Never just say "Np!" to people when they thank me for doing them a favor. Instead, I yell "No!" at them...
For real; when am I ever going to be talking about Ymir or fomenting in regular conversation? Apple hasn't seemed to have geared it's auto correct functions for regular dialogue, especially in the information age where people use acronyms in texts.
Not only does the autocorrect function suck, but when I do make a mistake and try to go back, the vertical bar never goes exactly where I want it to when I touch the screen. It always goes to the ends of words instead of next to the letter I want to delete directly... So I have to delete half of the word just to get to the one letter I wanted to change. Also, if I do decide I want to delete large swathes of text, it starts deleting large CHUNKS of text when I hold it for more than 2 seconds. That makes it impossible to know when to stop without it deleting things that I wanted to SAVE!
Ugh... How about you guys? Are there things about your phones that just irk you?
