obviously has autocorrect switched off.
His messages are like a word puzzle game. What is he trying to say?
He uses an iPhone. Maybe he is in a hurry or the screen keyboard is
difficult to use, but it is a challenge for me! ๐</pre>

I reckon that autocorrect is causing, not solving the problem. I
used to be able to type quite fluently, 30 wpm, then damned MS Word
came along, and started autocorrecting the few mistakes I would
make, so I didn't even notice them, and gradually I made more
(autocorrected) mistakes, so my typing got worse. Once I realised
what was happening, I turned the cursed thing off. Now I turn
autocorrect off in almost everything. Unfortunately, my typing is
still pretty bad! It takes longer to get the accuracy back than it
takes to lose it. A bit like weight-loss. Why do the bad things
happen quickly and the good ones slowly?! :(<br class="">
