Why when i spell something wrong, does spellcheck often not know what im trying to say, but when i copy paste that same misspelling into google, it always can tell what the word i was trying to say was?

The prediction model on your local machine is much more simple than a search engine. Your computer doesn’t have the power to run as big of a model.
I have no idea what’s behind it, but in all my years, across every model of phone I’ve ever owned, I have NEVER experienced shittier auto-correct & predictive text than my current iPhone. It absolutely BOGGLES THE MIND how awful it is. I honestly wonder if something in my settings is disabled because it is inexplicably stupid for a computer.
Google has a better spell checker than, for instance, Reddit’s editor. The routines which accomplish such a task are not all equal. And Google has more money to spend, and more talented programmers, to accomplish a better job of it. I would imagine that Reddit probably bought the editor program from a commercial software outfit, and figured the one they got was the best bang for the buck that met what they set as an adequate performance mark.
