Handle ordinal suffixes/ indicators

Done Typing & autocorrect English fixed in 2.2.1

youknowdave ·

I use ordinal numbers quite regularly i.e.1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th instead of first, second, third..... , however EFKey doesn’t recognise this notation so automatically autocorrects them.

This is what 1st to 10th are auto corrected to by default.

1st 2and 3rd 4the 5the 6the 7the 8the 9the 10the

Only the 1st and 3rd aren’t auto corrected (I’m not sure whether this is by design or chance), the 2nd and 4th onwards all autocorrect to either and or the.

As with the default Apple keyboard, it would be very useful if EFKey would automatically identify when ordinal numbers were being entered so that it doesn’t try and autocorrect the ordinal suffixes to words.

@youknowdave autocorrect only looked at the letters after the number, so "nd" got corrected to "and" while "st" and "rd" happened to be in the dictionary as abbreviations. Fixed for 2.2.1, the next App Store update: letters typed right after a number are left alone, so 1st, 2nd, 4th, 21st or 3pm stay exactly as you type them.
