Autocorrect ???

Is it just me who is technologically challenged or anybody else who has issues with autocorrect ..no seriously why can't I just say what I want to ???

I hve had so many instances where I was put off by the autocorrect tht I don't even wanna try voice recognition where we talk and the phone tries to understand wat we mean to say isn't it simple just to type the damn thing 

I'm just venting coz I meant to say "wow we are so proactive "instead ended up with "wow we are so provocative " to a colleague ...haven't spoken to tht one for a while now
