Apple really needs to throw out its crowdsourced machine-learned autocorrect system entirely. Autocorrect used learn from everything I<\/em> typed, now it interjects with typos & weirdisms from random internet users. It’s been a complete train wreck since they introduced this stuff<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I continue to see this stuff, too.<\/p>\n\n

Autocorrect is as much psychology as technology. When I made the autocorrect system for the original iPhone, I thought a lot about whether people would understand the results they got. Even if people didn’t get want they want, I still wanted the results to seem sensible.<\/p>\n

Building a trustworthy piece of software is as much about not doing the wrong thing as it is doing the right thing, and I think many developers don’t quite understand how one weird result can undo the positive perceptions from fifty good results.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

But… WHY is the iOS keyboard so bad? It has actually regressed in the past two years, and I’m not talking about the spelling suggestions; I’m talking about the blue-underline grammar replacement substituting two words for one, duplicating the preceding word. How did this ship?!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
