I have a love-hate relationship with autocorrect. Sometimes it fixes my typos, but other times it changes correct words to something completely wrong. I recently typed 'writing' and my phone decided I meant 'writhing' – which is a very different activity!
This made me double-check how to correctly spell writing so I could train my phone's dictionary. The correct spelling is W-R-I-T-I-N-G. One 't.' The 'i' is long. The '-ing' ending is standard.
I added it to my phone's custom dictionary, so now when I type 'writing,' it doesn't try to change it. Problem solved! For anyone else fighting with autocorrect, you can usually add words to your device's dictionary. It's worth the few seconds to save future frustration.
Now my phone knows I'm a writer, not a person who writhes. Small victory, but I'll take it!
