autocorrect

March 2nd, 2012
Sometimes I use my kindle fire to browse and comment and if I type "fav" it will autocorrect it to "fag"! Fortunately, I've caught it every time! I believe in the UK it means something different, but it in the US, it would be quite slanderous to write, "great photo - FAG!" Hahaha.

Just curious to know if this happens to anyone else or if anyone has actually sent or received a comment that said "fag"?!

(I did a super quick search on the discussion board and didn't find anything, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat!)

My goes to FAVE, just like that, all caps. I think I trained it to do that. One time though, I meant to type Thanks very much, and I did something wrong to the very much part, because it autocorrected to Thanks douch. I was so happy to catch that ! I use an iPhone , btw

@cristina3611 @grecican @5unflow3r @pwallis Thanks for this little post and your funny comments! I'm getting ready to call it a day on "one of those days" and it was great to end it with a laugh!!

awesome shit, i really lick the tunes.

No... I actually don't think my kindle has corrected anything yet, which is a shame because if anyone needs a spell check it's me.

I do have to thank you, however, for making a post where there would be profanity. I love profanity. If we could throw in some nudity and immoral behavior I'd be right at home!

... I knew I shouldn't have taken a break!

Oh lol, thanks for giving me a good laugh. Really need one. My iPad autocorrects with audio and "her" pronunciation of some words is hilarious. @curiousmomworm @sdpace @pwallis @5unflow3r @cristina3611 @grecican

Means the same over here as it does in the 'States, but it's also short for cigarette.

@eyebrows was just looking to see If anyone had mentioned its double meaning!!

Nice shit comes up a lot in my comments too. I think I've caught it every time, but I can't say for sure. Maybe I'll just leave it from now on....I mean it is still complimentary. And I would say it if I was talking to the person, what's wrong with typing it? Even if I didn't actually decide to type it.... @pwallis @sianipops @cristina3611

My 18 yo daughter was support to text me at the end of a 3 hour drive. Her text came out:

Hurt!

It took her two more texts to get it right. Here

@rrt - that is CRAZY!

I love how many autocorrect mistakes are in this thread alone.....and not intentionally.

My iPod always corrects 'fav' to 'fab', not as bad as your result...but still a little too feminine for me. haha

I tried to google the story about the gunman autocorrect, but I found this instead. I was crying from laughing so hard. Sorry I'm getting off topic and non-photography related!

@pwallis I know I'm late to the game on this one but I was wondering if anyone else caught that!
