    I know that a problem on the server is "wanna" correcting to "want," and "gonna" correcting to "going." I personally find this very irritating. "Wanna" is a shorthand (or whatever) for "want TO," not just "want." This makes it very interesting. For example;

    What I mean to say, "Wanna gamble Sanic Speedy Man?"
    What comes out in chat, "Want gamble Sanic Speedy Man?"

    It sucks.
    My proposal is that staff would change this auto correct feature to make it so it corrects as "want to" and "going to" in stead of "want" and "going." Or, we could take this feature out entirely.

    Thanks!

    Why do you want to make me sound more illiterate than I am already being in chat? lol
    Like : I really wanna get a pizza
    I really want get a pizza.
    Yo im gonna go now
    Yo im going go now
    Like , maybe if it added 'to' as well it would be alright, and I get the motive may be to make people type correctly without slang or whatever, but it's more of an annoyance than a perk for me.

    I feel your pain guys, I use the word "wanna" so often that I don't even know I use it sometimes. It makes it even worse when I ask people stuff like "Hey, you wanna go expand our island on SkyBlock" and instead it says "Hey, you want go expand our island on SkyBlock" Honestly, this whole autocorrect think does not tickle my 10 foot long pickle sadly enough ;(

    - Greeting's Jackerid,

    It is annoying and irritates me as well. You may be doing a trade and you say wanna or gonna then it sounds like something completely different. Personally I believe everyone knows what gonna and wanna stands for. If this was removed it would make it a lot easier to communicate. Say you say something with correct spelling and then autocorrect comes out of no where, then changes it. It would be a logical idea to remove this. Communication throughout the server will be more effective. To the conclusion I agree with Jackerid. #Autocorrect needs to correct it self and go away. xD

    Have a great day! :)
