And apparently, so does the auto-correct function on an iPhone when typing while cranky.
About a week and a half ago, I was feeling cranky. I was still getting kids stuff ready for school, and having Little One insist that all of her supplies, folders, zippered binder and even backpack be red. And the reds can’t clash. And no designs. And she doesn’t like velcro.
She doesn’t have a backpack as yet. And with that attitude, won’t have one in the foreseeable future.
Anyway, I was home, awaiting my daily call with Hubby, when I receive a text message letting me know he’s had a bad day. In his work and duty station, I believe it. But it doesn’t help my mood any when he is sending messages about his day, and not asking about mine. I try to be considerate, but being cranky doesn’t help, and I “yell” in my message to him:
I LOVE YOU!!
His next message relays the same words, and immediately I am contrite. I tell him I missed him saying it. And this is the result:
Needless to say, he found it funny. But from now on, I double check spelling before hitting the “send” button 🙂

“Lice makes the world go ’round” Does not have the same ring to it as the original. As an aside, considering the ever shrinking size of keyboards on mobile devices, spelling/typo errors are to be expected…at least until our fingers get considerably smaller!

LOLZ. Some days lice is all I can manage! 🙂

There are reasons why I tend to avoid autocorrect and spellcheck features (and don’t build them into my own programs).

Smart man 😉

Well, lice can be an issue in the field. So can leeches, which is why I gave up jungle work. 😉

There is of course a website dedicated to autocorrect dysfunctions. Check out damnyouautocorrect.com for more lols. Language warning naturally.

I’ve seen it, and hope I never have an entry there, Mitchell 😀

Well, LC. Your predicament inspired me…

She needs to learn how good a combination red and black is.
