How auto correct could be ruining my life

So, just getting back used to actually using a computer and the funniest thing happened. When I say it happened, it occurred multiple times. I start a word, and I wait for it to finish. Its like I expect my computer to realize what I am trying to say and it is not going to happen. The reason, my computer does not have auto correct!!! While I have spent several days calling this feature all sorts of names, when you do not have it, you realize its effect. My spelling has regressed quite a bit due to rarely finishing words. I can only imagine how much my grammar will actually improve in the coming weeks now that I have to think things out again. Which is a good thing, because I want to write more, and it would be nice for other people to not only enjoy it, but comprehend it. So back to the main point, auto correct has made me lazy. I guess its the motive of my phone, to be smarter than I am, which I have mixed feelings about. On one hand, I can message faster than ever since im only writing half the word. On the other hand, sometimes auto correct decides what will be sent or said. Thanks auto correct!! (Said no one ever without being sarcastic) Anyways,I am excited for the increased vocabulary in the coming weeks due to being able to type again. Maybe I should just take auto correct off my phone and really take things to the extreme. However, I dont want to get too far ahead of myself, unless I start shouting at the computer expecting it to make words magically appear. Unless it really wants to :)
