Just been roasted mildly on another board because my iPad seemingly can’t differentiate between its and it’s and inserted unnoticed an unwanted apostrophe. Why can’t spellcheckers recognise grammatical context? I’d have thought that processors are easily fast enough to keep with normal typing speeds.
And some of the corrections of the occasional missed letter in a word are simply astonishing. On the upside, it does seem able correct quite substantial mangling of fairly common words. Incomprehensible.
