On a site like the HB, spellcheck is important. In some chat forums, it
matters, too. This is where a good, learning auto-correct program can
really be helpful. But in most casual chatrooms and online games,
auto-correct really effs up abbreviations and chat lingo.
So my idea is for a smartphone
app
that lets you assign a profile to
each of your bookmarked websites and all of your online games. A
simple ON/OFF toggle for the auto-correct feature in your phone's text
programming. Set it, and it stays that way for that site or game until
changed manually again.
That is all.

Anything that discourages mental spelling rigour is a bad thing. |
|

Not when you're speaking in code during a game for the sake of speed and efficiency, or typing usernames that the spellcheck doesn't recognize, and the auto-correct feature keeps messing it up. Your user name, for instance, is an auto-correct nightmare. |
