16 years in and iOS still doesn't have this feature that MacOS (née Mac OS X) has had since it launched 22 years ago: “Learn Spelling”.
@gruber I must admit that I had my chance long ago. I had a hand in on adding spellcheck, the red squiggle, and the menu system to iOS, and of course, the text system too. Other things took priority and then I moved onto other projects. Sorry!
@kocienda Ugh. This one really hurts, Ken.
@gruber Yep. I had all the threads in my hands, Now as I think back, I stopped working on text-related things to begin a year-long project to add multitasking gestures to Springboard. It was a lot of work to decide quickly whether to handle touches in Springboard or dispatch those events to the frontmost app. Eventually, the descendant of that work allowed the iPhone to go without a physical home button.
@gruber A pedantic side note: the official spelling is SpringBoard, but I never liked that internal capital letter.
@gruber One last tidbit. Who did I collaborate with on those multitasking gestures? Imran Chaudhri. 😉

?!

Any idea why that was the official spelling? Because the app icons are… springs… and they're attached to the same… "board"?

@kocienda @gruber that’s a solid trade if that’s how we want to look at it. Learn spelling would be great, but not at the expense of having a home button again
