Kindle auto-correct is pissing me off<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember when I was getting pissed off that there was no better spell check on the Kindle? Yeah. How do I turn the auto-correct off?<\/p>\n

It’s very frustrating when I painstakingly spell something out — there it is right on the screen — then one hit of the spacebar and I look incredibly stupid.<\/p>\n

If I spell something out a key at a time, why would it try to fix it? I don’t need to have my words corrected by something that seems to know less about spelling than me.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I saw this<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t watched a ton of new movies, but here’s a list of stuff — movies and shows — worth seeing:<\/p>\n

OBLIVION – movie. beautiful, cinemagraphic dystopian sci-fi.
\nPACIFIC RIM – movie. fun monster fighting robot sci-fi.
\nPROMETHEUS – movie. thinky horror sci-fi.
\nLOOPER – movie. crazy time travel mafia sci-fi.
\nBREAKING BAD – TV. meth making science teacher\/drug kingpin.
\nYOU’RE BEAUTIFUL – TV. girl dressed as boy, joins band kdrama.
\nPENELOPE – movie. Girl cursed with a pig nose. Wonderful costumes and sets.
\nKINGDOM OF HEAVEN – movie. Still beautiful knight during the Crusades story.
\nIRON MAN 3 – movie. Tony Stark is a ninja.
\nORPHAN BLACK – tv. BBC sci-fi series about a woman that finds out there’s eight of her.<\/p>\n

Any great movies or shows out there? I’ve got Netflix<\/a> and DramaFever<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
