Cyril,
I don't know if it's just me or not, but in addition to I'll, I also have a problem with a lot of other words like:
youre -> you're
dont -> don't
cant -> can't
id -> i'd
Im -> I'm
And in addition to that, occasionally the first letter isn't always capital.
Autocorrect not working on some words
Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
I was having similar issues, but Cyril released an update to the built-in dictionary yesterday (two updates over the course of the day, in fact) and many, if not all, of these autocorrection problems disappeared.

Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
Hi
the problem with all those words, is that now I have a bigger dictionary, which includes them.
So if you type "dont", it will suggest "dont" as it is already in the dictionary, and not "don't"
So the easiest workaround I see is just to remove these words from the list, as I did for "il". I'll do it in the next version, and if you think about other similar words, I'll remove them too

Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
What morons put "dont" and "youre" in a DICTIONARY?
The laziness of people and the acceptance of it is just nuts these days. Thanks for finding a solution for this lunacy Cyril.

Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
Actually the word list is computed automatically from various sources on the internet (cf http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionar ... ency_lists), so there may be incorrect words in it, if they occur frequently. I cannot just take the words out of a real dictionary, as I also need a frequency information for each word. But if you know a good word list (including flexions and frequency!) I can use it

Haha
@Cyril: I figured it was just in the dictionary and it would be an easy fix like I'll, but figured I would bring it to attention. If there are more words I will let you know, thanks a lot.

Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
OK, this is fixed in v1.1.0, at least for the words you gave me
Cyril
Re: Autocorrect not working on some words
Cool, after that update I'll let you know if I run into any others.
