To wonder how the tread would go if no one corrected their iPad

so often you see two posts by the same miner back to back, as their ipad has misguessed a word they were typing.
,
So i am wondering where the thread would go if no corrections were made.

Of course when you want the ridiculous words to come up they don't

Very interesting point OP. Although am not sure what miners have to do with it Grin.

Many times I have been forced to go back and repost thanks to my iPad knowing best. Especially if I'm I'll and not really paying attention.

I see it gets it's own name correct. But never I'll. Unfortunately I've been I'll quite a lot recently, so have had this problem a lot.

What the he'll?

Seeing rather than weeing is one I've just seen

Rather like the idea of being a miner (MNer for those with sensible key pads)

This is just a stealth boasting thread and an iPad clique isn't it?

Must be due to them there miners doing it in the dark Grin

stripeybumpinthenight · 01/11/2011 16:21

I think my iPhone recognises mining as a verb. Oh no it doesn't. What about MNers? Yay Grin MN yep Grin

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 01/11/2011 16:22

I tooknspell check off mine, but often have to correct typos. Loke yhe one at yhe beginning. And the othrrs. Grin

I don't have an iPad, but I'm guessing it'd make the same autocorrects as an iPhone. 'He'll' annoys me.

Ooooh look at me I have an ipad, I have money you know Biscuit

The one that I get all the time is when I mistype 'here'.

I get gereldinetheluckygoat.

It is bloody baffling for the people I send emails to.

MrsBloomingTroll · 01/11/2011 16:30

Wordsonapage you clearly don't have an iPad because if you had an iPad it always corrects it's name, iPad, to have a capital 'P'.

I always thought he'll autocorrect was Apple's way of stopping us from blaspheming Grin. Wonder if Steve Jobs has gone to heaven or he'll?

CheeseyZitLover · 01/11/2011 16:32

I managed to turn off the ipads auto correct

Poor fabby gets flabby otherwise [hblush]

Miner names are the most embarasing auto corrects Blush

MNer doesn't get corrected if you make the N a capital as well as the M.

Some of the random corrections happen because it picks up names and words from the content on your iPad, which is why if I write about an Amber necklace it capitalises it, because DD's name is Amber and she's in my contacts list.

My iPad has learned to automatically put DH DS and DD in capitals so I don't have to bother - it also does it for WTF.....

CheeseyZitLover · 01/11/2011 16:44

on the subject of ipads, I recently discovered I can watch live TV on it, only BBC etc but still, am sure it will come in handy one day.

My iPad drIves me bonkers with it's bleedin autocorrect. I am forever going back and putting things right that it thinks I have ot wrong.

Still wouldn't give it up though. It's definitely been a top purchase. I only use a proper laptop once ia blue moon now.

WhoIsThatMaskedWoman · 01/11/2011 16:58

It took me a very long time but my iPhone will now autocomplete cuntybollox for me

I really really needed to type it on a thread a while ago, and I just kept persevering despite my iPhone repeatedly pursing its lips like my old school housemistress and saying "I'm sure you can't mean to say that dear!"

OvO · 01/11/2011 16:59

My iPad keeps changing as to A's which makes me look a right chump. It usually changes to something mad when I'm swearing! I end up calling people knights or puffins or something stupid.
