    Why does MSN allow curse words in screennames as long as they are misspelled?


    Why does MSN not allow me to say, "You need to research it." But if I report an offensive name, not once but 6 times, nothing happens? Misspelling a profane word to get it past the algorithm is to be expected of some people. For instance, using a "K" in place of a "C" to spell a body part that is considered offensive is allowed at least it isn't deleted. It doesn't seem to matter if you use feedback or the report function to do so, the offensive name still exists, and I still can't tell a person to do research. Broken, is broken.

    Autocorrect misspelled words not working / can I use SwiftKey?

    I would like to have misspelled words in Dutch autocorrected while typing in the webbrowser chrome on windows. On my android phone, my keyboard (GBoard) does this fantastically. SwiftKey by Microsoft seems to do the same on android.

    In windows 10 PC Settings - Devices - Typing, I have 'autocorrect misspelled words' activated. For hardware keyboard, I have 'autocorrect misspelled words as I type' activated.

    Autocorrection does not work. I see suggested words (see attachment), and when I misspell a word, the correct suggestion usually comes up first. But I have to click the word to have it corrected.

    My questions: Am I doing something wrong and does this work for others? If it does not work for others, is there something I can do to get the android kind of typing on windows 10?

    My windows version number is 19041.685

    Correcting Misspelled word in calendar appointments

    Several months ago I entered a recurring appointment in to the calendar on my T-Mobile Dash and synced it with MS Outlook. I recently noticed I misspelled a word and corrected on my T-Mobile Dash several times and I noticed that it reverts back to
    the misspelled word. I spoke with someone at T-mobile, I was told to delete the appointment and start over. Is there no way to correct a misspelled work with out starting over?
    Is there a setting on the phone or in MS Outlook that I missed?
    Thank you for any suggestions and or help.
