Please check the auto-correction!

Sometimes you got the correct answer but the mobile autocorrect changes it. Double check your answers :idea:

Sometimes even the correct answer is "wrong" and Auto correct is not "activated"... happend several times.
Irritating when u actually got the correct answer on the first or 2nd try...

The problem is not auto correction. Doing the same page several times will only trigger the key about 50% of the time.

Along with a phone’s autocorrect you have to be careful of is a phone’s tendency to insert a space after a word. If you don’t type out every letter of the word, auto suggest might take over and input the remaining letter or two, along with a space. You’ve gotta be way careful of this.

For years now I’ve been in the habit of deleting that extra space after words. It just bugs me. Even on a simple form or something, when I can just tap the autosuggest of my name for instance, I know (and can see) there’s a space after it. So instead of just “Tim” it’ll be “Tim “. Even when this extra space has literally no effect on anything, I just can’t stand it. I’m anal and like having things “proper” or “correct” or “the way it’s supposed to be”, however you wanna put it. Knowing that space is in there makes me feel like the field I filled out is I guess grammatically wrong, for lack of better term. And who knows, it’s quite possible that with some forms and such, that extra added space actually does make a difference.

For instance, if I’m starting a job or something and filling out my employee information, I don’t want the possibility of my name tag reading “Tim A. Erie ,PA”. That sort of thing.

So always always make sure before you submit your puzzle answer that a space didn’t sneak in at the end there. It’s very easy to accidentally let happen even if you’re being careful.
