iOS dictionary - AKA autoincorrect

[SMD]

I know I could fix this problem by resetting the dictionary, but I'm still going to vent about typing on my iPad.

It always correct its to it's, no matter how many times I fix it, it still happens. I know when to use and not to use an apostrophe!

I once typo-ed there as therr. It now autocorrects that about 1/3 of the time.

It also changes I'm to I'd. Again, I know which one I intended to use.

And if I capitalize a word in the middle of a sentence, it places a period after the previous word. There are many legitimate reasons to capitalize something besides the start of a sentence.

Oh, and trying to add HTML or any kind of code on message board is near impossible via typing.

I type pretty fast, so I don't always see the changes when they're happening because I'm a few words ahead. I like to go back and fix mistakes when I notice them, but it's pretty annoying that I have to.

Most of the time, I appreciate the corrections, but I agree that autocorrect can be frustrating when it thinks it knows more than you do.

Another one is that it autocorrects "well" to "we'll" and "ill" to "I'll." Well and ill are real words that sometimes I want to use! I'll put the apostrophe in when I want "we'll" and "I'll," thanks!

Yes, well to we'll happens to me a lot. I suppose I should expect an Apple product to be arrogant.

mine will type well for me... but hell will always autocorrect to he'll...

Another one that annoys me is when i type Sams, it think its the missile and auto corrects to SAMs.

On my iPhone, I have had it autocorrect a word to a completely incorrect spelling (not a homynym or alternate word).

A made up example to illustrate: family would be famjly. And when I try to fix it, it "corrects" it again.
