If you really want to screw up your phone's autocorrect, type regularly in more than one language. 🙄 #andobserving 👓

@lfarnsworth I installed a Norwegian keyboard to get special characters like æ and ð for Old English, and... yeah. Exactly as you said

@S_Chaussee I write in English, it autocorrects to French. I write in French and... 🙄

Totally. My single a keeps getting autocorrected to à. ...sigh...

@Giagia Mine decides I'm clearly writing French and autocorrects random words accordingly... when I'm writing English. And vice versa. 🙄

@lfarnsworth Very irritating! Some autocorrects are utterly weird. I don't mind the probable corrects so much but why on earth would autocorrect suddenly suggest a person's name that I never used before, totally random like... Malcolm. Hmph?
But the language mis-corrects are their own special kind of annoyance.

@Giagia Funny: Mine is very prudish. It corrects the rather mild swear word "damn" to "fan," which makes no sense. 😆

@lfarnsworth Oh yes! I've come across that too. So peculiar. The mind goggles. Did I even have a darn corrected to farn before? Don't quite remember. Autocorrect never seems to correct first letters when you really need it to, but with this it does.
