I’m typing these sentences on my iPhone and the ducking auto correct feature is getting in the way so much that that I want to hump up and down in frustration. Damn you, auto correct! Damn you to ducking hell!
My nerves may be pretty frayed after this little post, but I can’t really complain too much. After all, I haven’t gone through anything quite as terrible as what I’m seeing on Damn You Auto Correct, a site dedicated to the moments when a helpful feature betrays us.
Then again there was the time when I called someone an ass when I only intended to ooh and aww over a nice gesture. [Damn You Auto Correct via TechCrunch]

I used to work with two guys named John. So I decided to call one of them Jurgen to make it easier. Then one day I was running late for work so I sent him a text to let him know. I was on a nokia at the time with predictive text and typed his name Jurgen, somehow this this became Zurien. So from that day forth he was known as Zurien.

Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 8:11 AMI can’t remember where I saw this, but I remember a company who was trying to sell their latest phone, that they mentioned “auto-correcting ability”. It meant nothing to me, as the last time I tried using something like that on my computer, I wanted to throw myself off of a cliff.
With auto-correct on, it feels like you are competing for talk time with another person/thing, and that you are at times “talking over each other”, just like two people would do in real life to prove whatever point they are trying to make.
Annoying, not useful, in my mind.

So ducking annoying.

Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 3:38 PMMost annoying one is when I text my girlfriend and sign off with “Xox”. Auto correct insists on changing that to “Cox”. And because it’s always the last thing I type, autocorrect will change it after I press send. Not Coll iPhone.
