Along those lines, "smartphones" should NOT autocorrect me by default. My phone is the most arrogant asshole on the planet that it thinks it knows what I meant to say more than I do, that and any word that is also a brand automatically gets capitalized...
No phone I'm not talking about Tide pods, I'm talking about the damn ocean...
You joke but I have autocorrect, auto-capitalization turned off on my phone because it's so annoying for reasons similar to what you wrote.
I ended up switching to 'Simple Keyboard' for this exact reason. I've actually gotten a lot better at phone typing since I've been forced to do so. I can go nearly as fast as I used to, though I do have to keep the keyboard in my peripheral vision.
Phone keyboards aren't nearly as tiny as they were in the OG iPhone era!
