Has the keyboard autocorrect changed? Now it is autocorrecting me. Before it would put suggestions above the keyboard, but now when it does not recognize a word, it automatically fills in an autocorrect when I don't want it.

Also, i noticed if using any cursing - it never automatically spell them. I tried and tried to spell **** and it keeps spelling duck. I have to type it out. I can't swype it.

Anyone else?

The cursing was a default behaviour, it hasn't changed

the others - anything in keyboard settings?

I think it resets what it knows about you after getting redstone, now have to add words again and correct the autocorrect before it replaces your word a few times so it stops trying to replace it

In my experience it's gone pretty poor... It was near psychic with wp8.0 but it has become ios-like over time...
For instance I type pretty quick and I typed Sulley, it autocorrected to Sue.... :grincry:.. LOL.

Yah I remember wp 8.1 was the best. Th2 wasn't too bad either but anniversary update just made it so much worse. You can hold the &123 button tap the keyboard you use and disable autocorrect. Also if you go to more keyboard settings and you enable "send microsoft info about how i write to help improve typing and writing in the future" it will eventually get much better. I think at one point these got reset for all users on the server end. It stores some stuff directly on device other in the cloud. I just hope it doesn't take info from input fields for username/passwords etc..

If you make a typo and the keyboard remembers it, I don't think you can delete it. Then when you try to type the word correctly, it auto-incorrectly replaces it. Fun with phones, eh?

I'm having a strange problem... Often inputs the auto corrected word after the misspelled word instead of replacing

In german, the keyboard is kinda ****ty. Has a very outdated spelling. And it very often doesn't know simple words. In 2010, I had a Samsung Wave, with a 3,3" display. I mispelled there as often as on Win10 with 5", but the Wave autocorrects a thousand times better. And you could add things like e-mailadresses to the spelling. Was a very handy feature for me back then.
