Me: "Contrite"
Autocorrect: "Did you mean Concrete?"
Me: "No. Add to Dictionary"
Me: "Finagle"
Autocorrect: "Did you mean Final?"
Me: "No! Add to Dictionary"
Me: "Catapult"
Autocorrect: "Bro, I don't even know what that word is but I'm going to assume its misspelled."
Me: "God damnit. Add to Dictionary"
Me: "Phras"
Autocorrect: "This is fine."
- Facts af
Google's "did you mean": 💪 Gboard's autocorrect: 💩
- As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google's 'did you mean' is the bane of my existence.
  
  Have you considered using a Google alternative?
  
  Using quotes around the part number might be of great help. It won’t ask you “did you mean” and will look specifically for pages that include that number.
Autocorrect apologists are literally hilter
- Literally.
