BEWARE! YOUR SMART PHONE MAY BE TEACHING YOU BAD ENGLISH
You need to watch it because your child’s smart phone may be teaching him/her bad English and even you as an adult.
Have you noticed the problem of English spelling with some recently released Android smart phones? It is unfortunate that at a time parents are complaining and lamenting that abbreviation words in the social media (text messages, facebook, whatsapp, twitter etc) has made mess of the ability of our youth to read and write good English.

And now most smart phones key boards are not helping matters rather they are compounding the problem of writing good and correct spelling of some English words. I don’t know why the manufacturers of these phones decided to omit some compound words from the English vocabulary? I as one, am finding it unbearable to tolerate this.

EXAMPLES : The following words are missing seriously from these smart phones/keyboards
1. Behind as” bind”
2. Vehicles = as “vicle “
3. Kehinde as “kinde”
4. Behold as “bold”
5. Apprehend as “append”
6. Household as ”housold”
7. Behave as “bave”
8. Behavior s “baviour”
9. Beheaded as “beaded”
10. Behalf as “balf”
11. Apprehensive as “apprensive” etc, etc (You can add yours as well)

Check out these wrong spelling of words in all the social media write ups and broadcasts and you will be amazed.

The question should be, are these new ways of spelling English words? What went wrong and who is to be blamed for all these: the Phone manufacturers of the keyboard owners? What is the solution to this problem or don’t we see it as a big problem?

Can't buy a phone with my hard earned money and auto-correct will be dragging keyboard with me.

All these novices self..

It's not autocorrect because I didn't enable it. Perhaps, it's relative to Android 5. 0 Lollipop

I've never had auto correct give me wrong spellings before.
Maybe your keyboard is set to the wrong language.

Yepa..

Ati ko ifa nle, ifa ti inje.

hmm

Definitely not all smart phones

I don't think these errors are from the manufacturers I have always used smart keyboard even from my days of Nokia touch light and didn't have any of these. Worst case is that the suggestions won't what I want and I would be forced to type all of the letters myself .... I currently use an Android 4.2.2.
maybe like u said its Lollipop ish

Jesu...

Just gini?

.

Since I've been using my phone my auto correct is always there and my keyboard also guesses my next word for me, for example if I type how, my keyboard will show 'are' and some other words that can come after how.... So I don't really have problem with mine sha

Am not saying this post is a lie

Ibon ree

I use smart phones but its difficult for me to type in abbrevations

@ OP

Before you generalize, you might do well to get a "second opinion", from other phones.

Also, I strongly believe the "follow come" dictionaries are not from the manufacturers, but from Google & Apple. If not, the kain Chinese English we for dey see na die.

Ok
