Autocorrect helps you correct spelling errors and grammar automatically. It also compares the words you type with an internal dictionary and replaces any perceived errors with what’s assumed to be the proper spelling. While this can be a blessing in disguise, it can be a nuisance for others, especially if it keeps changing proper names, abbreviations, and spelling of street addresses. This feature is automatically enabled but can be disabled by following these steps:

1. 1. Click the Apple logo from the Mac’s menu bar, followed by System Preferences
      

1. 1. Choose Keyboard.
      

1. Find Text input at the top and select Edit
   
2. Turn off the Autocorrect feature by toggling off Correct spelling automatically.
