phone keyboards are so small, that, in my experience, however good they are, it's basically impossible to type quickly without mistakes, so i always have autocorrect turned on on my phone

however, i compensate for the diminishing knowledge of spelling by turning off autocorrect on my computer, works fine 🤷‍♀️

I use florisboard so there is no dictionary suggestion whjch is, as you said, hard to tyoe correctly. I find it frustrsting and sometimes too tired to correct them unless it's absolitely unreadsble

I turn it off because sometimes there are a lot of informal words that I use in a casual conversation. As for dozens of broken spelling, I can't do much, I just hate touch keyboard. Small keys, no feedback.

I much love typing on a physical keyboard. There was one time in school they taught me on how to use all of my fingers to type on the keyboard, which fingers are for which keys, it was hard to get into, but eventually made me fall in love with typing in keyboard. But generally physical/mechanical buttons are much better than touch buttons.

My keyboard app has allows you to undo autocorrect with a swipe, so I generally leave it on. Allows me to type probably ~2.5x as fast.

I hate autocorrect with a passion and never use it, reason being that it tries to correct variant spellings, names, and other unique words I use. I know adding mine own words to the keyboard's dictionary would alleviate that issue, but I find that / predictive text eerie. I'm not so busy that I cannot proofread what I type, and I use any words I mis-spell as a learning opportunity, because it helps me remember it for future use.
