Oh goodie. The man down the street got a loud mini dirt bike for our small-town streets.

This usually doesn't end up well.

If you can get past his size, the noise annoyance, a mini dirt bike on our small-town streets is dangerous, esp for our town's terrain and blind spots due to its natural topography and ad hoc development style–town planning without any rhyme or reason.

Also, an honorable mention to , which wanted to change topography to typography and won't stop nagging me.

Don’t you hate it when changes ‘Pikachu’ to ‘pikuach nefesh’?

" Don’t let your phone autocorrect the code! "

The most worrying thing I've read so far, today.
Tech gone wrong.

#iOS #autocorrect has gotten even worse! How is this possible, #Apple?

Fix your shitty autocorrect! There’s no such thing at “there’re” so quit putting it into my content.

And how come I get a word suggestion as I type, I click on it, and an entirely different word is inserted that wasn’t even one of the options offered - sometimes not even an English word?!

🤯🤬😠😡😤

@peterbutler 😭 It didn’t use to be this bad. I’ve been on an iPhone since the first model. I loved them, even after trying Androids twice, I had to go back. But now? May as well use a flip phone.

@KatM Agreed that using a flip phone is looking more and more appealing. All I would really miss is the camera

Shoutout to my dumb phone for autocorrecting “uninked” to “inked”, changing the ENTIRE MEANING OF THE SENTENCE 😡

Lucky I caught it that time, I’ve definitely not caught dumb shit like this in the past

@paradoxmo
There really should be a way to (or a policy in place that) prevent more than single-character auto-corrections. The larger ones I've seen are like huh? and I have to go back and "correct" them.

And what stops them from highlighting any auto-correction, so I can verify?

paradoxmo,
@paradoxmo@penfount.social avatar

@keraba my phone does highlight autocorrect, but only for one word further than the autocorrected word, after which the highlight disappears. So it’s not very hard to miss it.

auto-incorrected "lips" into "libs" and now I'm offended that my iPhone took the right word and changed it to a trending pejorative that people might apply to me, a pejorative I'd never type out myself.

A human would know better, but an ? Ugh! Keep this in mind if you are ever beguiled into using "tools" like . (I'd never stoop so low.)

This is from Rob Words a Youtubeist -

This one-liner comes courtesy of YouTube viewers dinodinoulis923:

When I was at school, my English teacher told me not to worry about spelling or grammar because in the future there will always be autocorrect, and for that I am internally grapefruit.

My phone saw my attempt to write "sudoku" and autocorrected it to "sodomy."

I will not share the context, because the sentence makes it worse, and my sense of humor is G- or PG-rated (maybe PG-13 when I get dark).

I have never been so afraid of my keyboard in my life.

My changed “republicans” to “replicants” because I really, really screwed up typing the word.

Autocorrect has been changing "Imbolc" to "Inbox" all day.

So Happy Inbox to all of us on retro.pizza, and everywhere on the fediverse!

Serious iPhone question: what's up with the speech-to-text automatic insertion of commas between subjects and verbs?
