Safari loves to send me to either UnderWriterLaboratories or Unilever.

Even w/ the bookmarked short-cut, Dumb. I gotta now type ult before hitting enter. :chair:


Name your gripe(s).

on my android i frequently hit 'q' instead of 'a'. so much of my writing hqs q's insteqd of q's. qpple and orqnges q and a qre.

also, the space and '.' are too close together, so much.of.my.sentences.look.like.this. half of them turn into hyperlinks.

and then there are the auto-correct annoyances:
duck
ship
etc.

I use Swype on my Android phone.. and I was telling my sis-in-law that I'd just finished doing the brakes on my truck... which actually ended up saying "I just finished doing the naked on my truck..." her reply was "LMFAO".

I didn't realize what I'd said until several minutes later.

my favorite was an autocorrect fail. I was texting my friend who is a devout Christian, studying to be a missionary actually. I was trying to remember what year he had worked at Albertson's to see if he had overlapped with another friend, only when I asked, my phone autocorrected to "Hey bro, what years did you work at abortions again?"

the single biggest annoying autocorrect is when I want to type "o" (as an expression). It'll always change it "I" so my sentences get all jacked up like no other...

makes for some funny conversation.

^^ I do the same with "u" and "i." I mean to type "i am going tomorrow" and it always comes out "u are going tomorrow." It always confuses the recipient. But add to that all of.the.periods.between.words.like.Sean.experiences .

Typed "Way to go sparky" to one of the female clients in support of her idea.



Stupid autocorrect said "Way to go. Spunky."

Just a little bit embarrassing. (She's a hottie and knows what the meaning was.)
