@matigo I’m not keen on emoji; they’re a bit childish…but it seems to be a bandwagon. So much so that I feel sheepish typing an old-school smiley; like I must be weird to do what no one else is doing. Also, I quite like the challenge of A)crafting text with sufficient skill that neither emoji nor smiley is needed, and sometimes of B)creating a bit of intentional ambiguity by only using text.
Sometimes subtlety is nice.
@jws Damn, that’s another trick I didn’t know about…or had forgot about. Slightly spoiled for me though by the fact that it doesn’t work for the alternative characters that you’re offered when you press and hold some keys.
@matigo At the current rate of improvement, I think auto-correct will be good by iOS 21.
@matigo As long as it’s not one of those types with big gaps between letters, meaning you don’t get many words to a line.
@matigo If it’s easy to implement (and change back), perhaps do it for a while as an experiment.
@matigo 'd never seems to be a problem. Auto-correct doesn’t work well for me with 's …I wonder why.
@matigo Apostrophe dee? The 're words are common enough that the word suggestions usually offer it. Not so much with the possessive 's words.
I wish there was a dedicated keyboard key on iOS for the apostrophe ess combination.
It always amazes me how long it takes to assemble flat pack furniture. Got a bit of a sore back now. When I’m a millionaire I’ll just buy expensive proper furniture and pay people to haul it upstairs into place.
