Uncle_DaveO BS: Predictive text inventor (16) RE: BS: Predictive text inventor 11 Apr 16


Surely (I hope) software that has predictive text
or a spell checker with autonomous substitution power must
have the option of turning it (or them) off! And/or
entering a word or name one knows into the dictionary
used by the text or spell checker.

I certainly would not tolerate software that took basic
editorial choices out of my hands as the user!

And whether or not I were stuck with one of those
intrusive functions, I would critically proofread what
I thought to be the final text before submitting. And I
always (well, NEARLY always) use Mudcat's "Preview"
choice before posting.
