What if you're debugging SMTP and you actually meant HELO?

Our keyboard gives users a sense of pride and accomplishment when they type at 200 WPM. User testing has revealed that most of our customers can't spell. We are proud to have made autocomplete an integrated hardware solution on our entire line of products.

As explained downthread it's not misspelling, they're using a chord.

The device allows character entry--you just type h, e, l, o just like you would on a keyboard.

You would know if it was a chord or not--not every word you type will be one.

Outlook, word and I think even google keyboard does the same thing. You have to basically type it again in them and they take it to mean you don't want it autocorrected.

It is the first thing you disable though.

Exactly, I disabled autocorrect early on and never looked back. For convenience I MAY sometimes use the suggested words.

But I prefer a regular keyboard. This doesn't make me a luddite or anything, mobile keyboards are objectively bad compared to regular keyboards.
