Damn You Auto Correct

LogGrad98 said:
Yeah, those on that site are pretty much all faked up so they sound awesome. But if you actually try it with an iphone, typing in what they were supposed to be typing and see how it really corrects the spelling it isn't even close. Even when we tried to type in almost exactly the word that it was supposedly corrected to we had a hard time getting autocorrect to come up with that particular word.

And of course they are never like the ones I see from my wife all the time. She texts me and says "pick up some milk on the way home" and it comes across as "pick up some mile on the way home". Or "remember to pick up your daughter from school today" and it says "remember to piece up your daughter from school today".

I remember reading one saying something like "I want to give mom a new coat for christmas" that was supposedly autocorreted to "I want to give mom an ****** for christmas". Another one was from a father (always clueless, right?) to his teenage daughter that was something like "I will pick you up from school and we can celebrate" that was corrected to "I will pick you up from school and we can fornicate."

Yeah.



They are pretty funny though.

Hmmm... thanks for the info. I don't have an Iphone, so never tested or experimented with it myself.

Can I go back to laughing my *** off and thinking they are legit?

Ummmm.....no.
 
Keep in mind that the iPhone autocorrect will augment its dictionary based on words or phrases that you've previously typed. Therefore it would be pretty much impossible for Loggrad or anyone else to determine that the examples in the original post are fakes.
 
Obviously the correct answer is to start bullying whoever let's that stuff get through. By casting insults from your ivory tower. Then proceed to the nearest bullying thread and cry about how you were bullied and how your daughter was bullied when you were younger.. That way you can build a giant legacy of hypocracy

Meh. Make your own assessment. We read through a dozen pages or so on the site and tried dozens of them. Many are obviously so out of whack there was no way the autocorrect would get from one word to another.

As I said though, fake or not, lots of them are very funny.

Oh, good. You used an apostrophe.


Incorrectly, but still, glad to see you found it.
