Trust my rage
Yeah, it was the damnyouautocorrect. I'm not exactly sure what made it so funny, but this morning, it was hilarious.

Explain this to me. Do people just not notice that it's autocorrecting while they type? Or is it doing it in the ether, like Yahoo Groups used to do with some word or other?
(I think it was "expression" that got autochanged to "statement". So you would see fics talking about the severe statement on someone's face.)

Well, sometimes you have the word typed mostly correct and then it just suddenly changes it. I guess if you review each post bfore you click send, you would catch it. But when typing on my iPhone, I mostly look at my fingers/keys and not the screen so much.

On a related note, I have to say I'm really impressed with how well the Swype typing works. It's made the pullout keyboard on my phone totally unneeded.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got the G2, brenda, and Swype is pretty good. I'm faster on the the physical keyboard, though, and I type a lot of words that aren't in the dictionary, so I do usually end up using it.

There's a learning curve, for sure. And it's iffy if you're on the train or something. But it's getting a lot faster for me than the physical, and it seems to learn your words pretty quickly. I type a lot of long work emails, which I why I didn't want to go all touch screen in the first place, but it's working for me.

I'm old-fashioned enough that touch typing is still a thing for me. I like being able to look away from my fingers a little.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Explain this to me. Do people just not notice that it's autocorrecting while they type? Or is it doing it in the ether, like Yahoo Groups used to do with some word or other?
I was wondering that, too, especially in cases where it autocorrected to things totally unrelated alphabetically. (Also, it seems to autocorrect things to "dick" or "penis" a LOT.)
