Autocorrect and touchtyping
I am not a fan of autocorrect. I agree that people should proofread what they write, but that doesn't mean autocorrect isn't frustrating. When typing with a real keyboard, I can touch type. Although I can't touch type on a tablet (sine there is no tactile sensation) I can type pretty fast when I stare directly at the keyboard. This means I don't proofread as I type. That isn't a big deal with a computer since what you type is what you get. On a touch screen, what you type is not what you get. Just because a word isn't in a dictionary doesn't mean it isn't a valid word. In the modern culture, new words are created every day. When I type fast on a tablet, I find myself having to go back and edit a lot more. This becomes problematic since it is a lot harder to position the edit cursor on a tablet. Many of my posts are composed on the tablet but edited on the laptop.
