Yeah, things have indeed changed, but it appears that its still possible to avoid the pinch gesture.

When I enter a word that is announced as "misspelled", I can flick up once in word mode or twice in character mode to focus on the offending word. It then may be selected individually via the edit menu, which in turn exposes the "replace" option.

HTH.

Hmm you used to be able just to swipe down to a character and go to edit, then replace. I'm surprised you have to now pinch as I don't want to do that as I have issues with my fingers and hands.

Hi Sarah,

I just tested the misspelled words: "a n m a l" and "k u n t r y" on my 4S running IOS 5.1.1. After selecting the offending word via the open pinch gesture, I am seeing a "replace" option when I use the rotor to select "edit" and flick down. Double tapping results in a list of possible corrections. Actually in the above two examples there only appears to be one choice.

HTH.

Hello to all. I noticed for a while now that I cannot spell check. I have spelling on, but when I hear misspelled I cannot go to the edit menu and hit replace. It just is not there, the replace option that is. Did it disappear compleatly or is there something i need to do to get it back.


thanks all.
