I vote democrat

I vote republican


Okay, that’s on my iPad and apparently, it does offer a capitalized correction for democrat as a first option but it does not do the same for republican .... although it appears to offer republicans, plural.

I’m not sure that’s something intentional although I ca see where a propensity to thumb the predictive word rather than typing it out might lead to the difference somehow I suppose.

Republican is not necessarily a proper noun. You know this if you read your Constitution.

Article 4, Section 4.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.


They aren't talking about the Republican party here.

So that's not Apple autocorrect, that's your predictive text.

You ever think about if you capitalize Republican more that it will show up like that. Do you not know how your device works?

Google it does not capitalize either one of them, my predictive text capitalizes both because I do.

Your video shows you clicking an auto fill word to complete the word. It didn’t autocorrect. You chose which of the three options to auto fill, which is why you don’t show the keyboard.

Also... as stated multiple times.... autocorrect learns how YOU type. Meaning that either you always click the auto fill that capitalizes democrat, or you type republican so much that it learned that YOU never capitalize the R.

I hit the space bar as I was typing to show that it picked the capitalized Democrat for me

I hit the space bar as I was typing to show that it picked an uncapitalized Republican for me.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY

Looks like the "D" is already capitalized in the original text.


Did he not just tell you it was autocorrected?

Which is auto fill. Not autocorrect.

Because you type republican a frick ton and YOU never capitalize the R, so it learned how YOU type.

It’s okay. You don’t understand how autocorrect and auto fill work. Tech is hard on old folk. I get it.

Then why didn't you show that?

Capitalize Republican more when you type and the problem will be fixed.

I posted this with talk to text and it capitalized it.

Try capitalizing it 4 or 5 times.

It should learn that you prefer it capitalized.

Eta: trust me that i dont agree with radicals like tactical1 at all but i believe he's correct here.

Mine changes Republicans to Socialist and automatically posts it on Twitter with a profile of a transgendered amphibious pedophile. That’s jacked up.

I mean... or you could just gain a base level understanding of how autocorrect and autofill work.....

Because I tried to teach you how autocorrect (more for spelling) and autofill (more for word choice) learn from the users vocabulary, speech patterns, grammatical style, and use of punctuation?

Stop seeing the devil behind every corner.... if you just stop and think, there is a completely logical answer to what you see.
