Samsung spellchecker

Following my moans in the iPhone thread and mainly for android PR man ciscopete.

Today's wind-up timewasting autosuggests from my Note.

Type 'Hi Guenther' ... autocorrects to 'Hi Then that'.

Type Sir. The suggested next word is 'Alex Ferguson'.

The beauty with Android is you can use any spoll chocker you like. If I had a Samsung, I'd deSamsung it as soon as I got it and strip it back to basics by getting rid of all the bloatware. Samsung are particularly guilty of filling it up with shite (mainly to compete with Apple).

I suggest trying the Gboard (the Google Keyboard) also has "glide typing" I find it easier than tapping on tiny keys with my fat fingers.

Why dont you just learn English sir and type it yourself? On serious note yes , its better but there are alternatives sir. Alternative - a word that doesn't exist in Apple Vocabulary

Nope, that's how he spells his name in our email system and generally in the absence of umlauts.
