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

I can't switch it off because then everyone would know I can't spell restaurant properly. Grin

And spoil all the fun?

He'll no....

My iPod Touch changes buggery bollocks to buttery bollocks.

PeneloPeePitstop · 01/11/2011 17:06

I'd try it on my iPhone but autocorrect doesn't work in the MN app

msbuggywinkle · 01/11/2011 17:07

Pointlessly excited as my iPad was delivered today and I'm in love. Just felt the need to tell everyone that Grin

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 01/11/2011 17:08

It's addictive, msbuggy! Grin

VirgoGrr · 01/11/2011 17:13

I don't believe you LetUsPray, iPad doesnt autocorrect buggery at all.
That could be down to the frequent usage of though. Grin

stripeybumpinthenight · 01/11/2011 17:13

I get irrationally annoyed by iPhone correcting the colour White to having a capital W. Angry

BOOareHaunting · 01/11/2011 17:14

I don't have an IPad - nor do I get why people think this is a stealth boast Confused

I love reading the auto corrected words on threads - and it makes dyslexic me look less dyslexic Grin

Grin @ miners

VirgoGrr · 01/11/2011 17:15

Ok bear, anyone?

Psst rustybear tv catchup. - so much more than bbc for you to watch

Perhaps we need an iPad thread mums net headquarters so that people who don't like them can hide the thread

I don't have an iPad but am sometimes tempted to chuck in a really random word for comic effect and then go Hmm 'damn autocorrect'. In fact I have a suspicion that some MNers already do this.

My bogstandard outlook email has one rather nice autocorrection - missing the 'd' off 'attached' it kindly tops the e with an acute accent!

CheeseyZitLover · 01/11/2011 17:29

I think it's silly, I don't have money for lots of things but don't get snippy over it, it's just the way things are.

D'oh!!!

I hate my bloody iPad. I am yet to send aemail which doesn't have soe random nonsense in the middle. Usually when I'm emailing someone sensible too.

There is a great website called damn you autocorrect. Take a google...

BOOareHaunting · 01/11/2011 19:34

can no Ipad owners who don't whinge stay?

BOOareHaunting · 01/11/2011 19:34

non IPad Grin

See I need one with autocorrect!

NoTeaForMe · 01/11/2011 19:46

The thing I don't understand is why it feels White should have a capital?

Sent from my iPhone, but I'd love an ipad and hope that counts?!

(ooh my iPhone autocorrects it's name but not the ipad...weird, non?!)

SoupDragon · 01/11/2011 19:49

I thought it was only ne that did that with White!

my autocrat has been spectacularly bad recently.
See, it can't even get autocorrect right.

IWasDrunkItDoesntCount · 01/11/2011 19:51

Reminded me of this website Grin
damnyouautocorrect.com/

Msissa · 01/11/2011 19:56

Notea have you got someone in your contacts list with the surname White?
I've got such fat thumbs, I'd be buggered (buttered?) without autocorrect... Grin
