you fail at English if you can't spell "seagull".

Do you even know what autocorrect is? Geez

I do indeed. The reason Autocorrect changed the doofus's word is because he misspelled it.
Proof: "How do you spell that bird?" I estimate her three different attempts were "segal" "seagul" and "segul" but those are just guesses. Either way, she needs to repeat the first grade.

Ah, tell us Harold George Wagner the Third...what is it like to be burdened with the awful weight of being perfect? We simple people must know. Is it simply terrible, frightening, and lonely?

No Harold... AC doesn't 'only' correct misspelled words.

Numerous times, for example, I have typed "night" and typed it correctly, only to have autocorrect try to change it to "iChat" every single time. Who in the Hell would prefer iChat over night ? Can't think of how many times I have needed to type the iChat!! (the correct answer is 0)

Matt... seems strange that it does that same AC to you 'each' time! However, you did confirm the validity of my above statement.

I started using a text app on my ipod for unlimited txting. I left autocorrect on hoping for some fun shenanigans but all it did was frustrate me. I had to turn it off lol. I think it should not change the word to the suggestion automatically when i hit space after finishing the word. It should have me click the suggestion or something.
But I can definitely confirm that it doesn't just underline words with red squiggly lines like a spellchecker, it completely changes words based on its suggestions no matter how ridiculous.

I'm sure she can spell 'seagull.' By the fact that this web page is showing us a bunch of autocorrects, it's more likely that it's her phone that's changing her spelling.
You think?
then explain why she would ask "how do you spell that bird?"

When I type seagull on my phone, my autocorrect thinks I'm writing 'recital.' Maybe she doubted herself after the first attempt, tried a few variations. Texting, "How do you spell that bird?" is easier and quicker to write that, "How do you get the correct spelling of that bird without autocorrect incorrectly changing it?"

I guess we'll be seeing each other in the first grade where I'm learning the correct use of 'that' vs 'than' and you're learning how to use capitals and apostrophes.

because she wanted to make sure she was spelling it right since her phone kept changing :)
