The things people will text about
Apr. 27th, 2011 11:54 amI continue to read and enjoy and sometimes cry over http://damnyouautocorrect.com/.
But one thing that has struck me about it. The things people will text to each other. I mean, I know, I have a journal, and sometimes there is TMI and all, but seriously, if you are texting about your discomfort with your tampon, and it autocorrects to turtle, there is a certain giggle factor there, but it is OVERWHELMED by may amazement about you texting about your tampon.
Similarly for texts that were originally about bowel movments, or sex positions, or nudity. The autocorrect that "made" it funny sort of fades in light of the context.
