I just got one from work the other day. I know what your are saying with the virtual keyboard. It takes a while to get use to touching it right to get the right keys. Mine keeps on asking if I want a British keyboard.

So I'm typing away on my smartphone browsing ter, minding my own damn bizness and next thing I know auto-correct wordprediction on my smartphone predicts the wrong word! : unique name of a provider or someone I know in civvy world, their work email, or something very identifying about me like my ex girlfriend's email, my nick name, a friend's work number, etc. Basically, Stuff that when your friends search those online, they might know who you are.
If I had sneezed (or hicupped) and accidentally clicked enter it would have been submitted. I doubt mods would approve it or would delete it (assuming they notice), but eitherway if it is buried in a long post it is harder to spot. Worst part is that once it gets posted, search engines spiders crawl that stuff and soon that info becomes permanent on the internet, searchable by anyone. That same friend who has a very unique name may be able to identify you by your ter rant.
I've since erased some info and turned off that prediction feature but curious if anyone had an untrustworthy smartphone that betrayed you by accidentally outing something private and identifying, and you weren't aware of it until it was too late?
I seem that Apparently, it doesn't seem to be a big enough problem but something to be careful about.
