Title: Fun with autocorrect
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on November 09, 2010, 11:00:06 PM
Since "Damn autocorrect" is one of my most often-typed phrases on my iPhone, I can't stop laughing at this: http://damnyouautocorrect.com

I just texted this idea to my husband yesterday after "doesn't need" turned into "downtown" in my text to him...

It's funny this thread surfaces.  This past weekend all of my friends were repeating "I'll thank a bitch!"

I didn't find out until Sunday that they were referring to an autocorrect where a friend sent "I'll shank a bitch!"  :sad:

I was actually thinking the same thing.


Man, that autocorrect looks like a pain in the ass. And I thought T9 was bad.
Of course I chuckle every time i spell "care" or "case" and the first word that comes up is "barf"

"You want fried chicken for dinner?"
"Sure, I don't barf"

The amazing thing about iPhone autocorrect is that in the original release and for the first year or so YOU COULDN'T TURN IT OFF.

And, until fairly recently, it wasn't adaptive. Seriously. It did not use a simple technology which has been around for over ten years.

If I didn't know better, I would think the Apple developers were trolling us.

Actually, I am pretty sure they are. Correcting "Touchpad" to "Grackle"? And turning almost every word it's plausible for into "poop"?

Yeah. They're trolling us.

Given until recently iphones used to turn into bricks if you used them in your left hand, I am fairly sure they are trolling everyone.

I have to say, it probably makes iPhones more fun to use than other phones.

Maybe they're just kind of backed up?
