Figure 2-8:
Accenting your letters.
Tap the spacebar to accept a suggested word, or tap the suggested word to decline the
suggestion.
Alas, mistakes are common at first. Say that you meant to type a sentence in the
Notes application that reads, “I am typing an important.…” But because of the way your fin-
gers struck the virtual keys, you actually entered “I am typing an
importsnt.…
” Fortunately,
Apple knows that the
a
you meant to press is next to the
s
that showed up on the keyboard,
just as
t
and
y
and
e
and
r
are side by side. So the software determines that
important
was
indeed the word you had in mind and places it in a little capsule under the suspect word. To
accept the suggested word, merely tap the spacebar. And if for some reason you meant to type
importsnt
instead, tap the suggested word (
important,
in this example) to decline it.
