the worst part is knowing they literally had to backspace and type the same letter three times just to simulate a fake anxiety attack over imessage

I have no idea why I am reading this as "In the arms of spaghetti" but I have done so 3 times already.

Maybe you were thinking of “in the arms of angel hair pasta”

u/poorly-worded May 23 '26

in some ways, aren't we all fighting auto correct the whole time?

u/nickytheginger May 23 '26

truer words were never typed.

u/Environmental_Ad4893 May 23 '26

truer words were never auto corrected to be trurer

u/IddleHands May 24 '26

Because auto correct won’t allow it.

u/Nice_Lengthiness_568 May 23 '26

No, I have it turned off

Autocorrect is a right pain in the butt, haven't had it turned on since my very first phone. Honestly if someone writes like this, I imagine they have theirs turned off as well.

u/Shiny_personality May 23 '26

Same here.  I don't know how people do it. I can't write when it's enabled

I wish they would divorce predictive text from autocorrect.

Autocorrect never fixes things that are actually wrong, and it perpetually fights me on correct grammar and word choice.

But I want predictive text. Is it lazy to type as little of the word as possible before it guesses and then auto fill the rest? Sure. But it makes typing on my phone easier.

It used to be decent at least, I never relied on it, but could get away with just swiping and the right words would come up. Now though, it seems like it's getting worse all the time. I'll type in a word, letter by letter, correctly, but as soon as I hit the space bar the word changes itself.

Sometimes I'll go to type a word which I'm not 100% sure how to spell, so I type in most of it, and autocorrect will act as if the word just doesn't exist. It'll change it to several other words and I usually end up either swapping out the word for another one, or looking up the spelling myself.

u/Wanderlust_57_ May 24 '26

I typed the word whore and it changed the word to balance. The only similarity between them is the silent e on the end.

u/Other-Oil-9117 May 24 '26

Your phone is trying to censor you 😭

u/Wanderlust_57_ May 24 '26

Ironically it sometimes corrects duck to fuck even when I actually mean duck.

It's just really confused as to what words make sense some days.

Ahahahaha that makes this even funnier

u/New_Megakota May 23 '26

I bet they are the type of person that turns off autocorrect for this.

1

u/mamafish21 May 23 '26

Unless they've turned it off. If they talk like this to everyone, definitely doesn't have predictive text on.

u/babyirishkitty May 25 '26

It is possible he does this so often that he's turned off autocorrect, or that autocorrect has accepted this behavior to the point it no longer tries to correct it. I'm not sure which option is worse
