onfire247, I have to offer a huge apology. I see now that this website does indeed do auto-correct. (I've been using the "type first letter" option for years now ... and there's no autocorrect with that option). I found that out by temporarily changing my preferences back to typing out the whole word.
Within the context of having to type out every word, yes, I can see why you would want an "extension" of the auto-correct. If you feel strongly about it, you could use the contact form and write to Luke more directly about it.
I'm going to continue to use the "type first letter" option. I like it because as it speeds things up, it's more like reciting verses, and enables me to review a much larger amount of material than otherwise would be possible.
I apologize for the several messages -- I will go back to my queue now :) and try to be silent.
Onfire247, have you tried the "type first letter" option? That option is available as I use my pc, when you look at "Preferences".
Typing only the first letter of each word certainly makes things go faster, and you *still* have to remember each and every word -- and you still have three hints to use --though it is of course possible in a small number of cases to get something right "by chance".
I don't ever experience *any* auto-correction on this site of any kind ... but I do my reviewing on a pc, not on a phone. Perhaps that takes place on a phone?
I understand the feeling and also the experience behind what you said below, but .... to me, memorizing means you just have to *remember* all of those repetitions of "And Jesus answered and said to them ..." I think, we will just have to agree to disagree, onfire :)
Thank you PeterP. For much of my time here I wasn't properly focused; did several resets. But now my aim is to achieve fully learnt for each of my verses. It takes time and patience (as you know).

In my opinion your suggestion would make things too easy. We are here to memorize, after all, and we already have three hints on each verse (or 2 or 1 on shorter ones) :)
I guess my favorite is always the one I'm working on at the moment lol :) John 6:39, 6:40, 6:44, how Jesus Himself will raise us up on the last day. John 5:25 and 5:28, how those who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth ... I love how He keeps *repeating* these truths. As I've gotten older (of course) it's become more "real" to me that all of us will die at one point ... and so I find verses such as these to be very comforting.
Before I started here at learnscripture, I think I would have said John 8 was my favorite. The Woman Caught in Adultery. The long discourse which follows, which Jesus had with the Jewish leaders ... that's an incredible chapter. But they all are :)
congratulations! I'm a bit speechless, don't know how to congratulate you for such an accomplishment. But clearly this represents a long period of consistent, diligent work. May God bless you and others with whom you come in contact.
