When I first got the phone, it was awesome. I could make the most crazy typos and it would know what I'm saying. Now, all of a sudden, it's damn near retarded. It keeps changing "tho" to "Thor". (I cleared my dictionary's memory multiple times, so "Thor" is built in.) I will type something like "throe", and it won't correct it, even though it's not a word. I could just go on and on, it's just terrible.

So my question is, is it possible that this dictionary or its behaviors are modified wirelessly without an official update? I'm guessing no, and that this is all just selective memory, but still it's annoying as hell.

BTW, why is this forum dead? Is there another WP7 forum that has more than 1 post per week? I figured with it being "wp7forum.com" that it would be pretty popular.

AHHH!! finally ..
I was harping on this when Mango first came out.. Spell checker has just got so bad..
I wish they didn't go fiddling about with it ... Don't fix it if it ain't broke..


Also, there is far more than one post per week.. Smiley

We need more people to be active on here. Most of them get their question answered and then bugger off.  Sad ..
So stick around and contribute... would be great to have more!

As you say even the most obvious word doesn't get any suggestions with the right word in it.

That's the most annoying part so you have to keep deleting the word in order to type it again.

the thing I loved about pre-mango and spell checker was how wise it was to seperate two words that are stuck together... i.e.  withthe - with the;    thewhole - the whole;   knowthe - know the etc etc.. 
but now it just gives me a red line and it doesn't even give me the right word to click on..

there goes Wp7's 'Type with confidence' nonsense!!
