So I got one of these devices on sale and I really love it but there is a growing trend that is starting to annoy me...
Censorship... Swears are "autocorrected" to stupid alternatives (I mean who uses "tucking"), and there is no way to add to the dictionary.
I know I can disable autocorrect, but due to the keyboard it is pretty much required.
GAH

Ah, Microsoft... If it didn't exist, we'd have to invent them..... ;)
-
I almost want to say "duck" and "tucking" in my speech because it will make it easier to type.
-
Weird, I have one and have not noticed this. What input method are you using? I use the cover/type keyboard most of the time.
-
Both the touch keyboard and on screen.
All I want are swears :(
-
Invent some new ones.
You lucking fasted, you ;)
-
So far "Duck" and "Tucking" are clear winners.
-
"Daddy I'm going to bed."
"OK darling, do you want me to tuck you in?"
"Get away you sick pervert I'm calling Child Line!"
-
Putting my sock in your drawers could be misconstrued...
Duck in a funk! That was the biggest pair of bits I've seen in a while...
Oh, I'm going to have to get me one of the MS things, just for the comedy value :)

It's frustrating, and Microsoft's support page for things like that is even more frustrating. It's annoying as Australian's use swears as part of the language almost (I think we need an English-AU language which allows swears).
But other than that the devices are nice.
