to be fed up with these iPhone excuses!

[CotedePablo]

Why oh why don't these iPhone users actually check their spelling before posting?

'flippin' iPhone'? No too flippin' lazy to check!

yabu,
ipods and iphones have auto thingymajij that auto corrects but wont let you manually change the word they have decided they want you to use,and its far to complicated for anybody who isant 12 years old to turn off

you can change it, just touch the suggested word and it disappears

but often it is very quick, and substitutes a word at the very last second once you have already hit send - the ipad is even worse

You are missing a comma or two from your post op!!

Can't you check before you post?

Or you could just, get over it?
To be fair some of the word substitutions have been freakin hilarious, so I vote to keep :)

And you also have a question mark missing in your title.....

Thing is, predictive text can be very useful. Autocorrect can just catch you out occasionally. Like when you say you can't go out because you're too skintight.

Does it really matter? I'm very literate but I type fast, my computer doesn't always register some of the letters and I haven't always got time or inclination to proof read. As long as the post makes sense who is anyone to judge? We're not entering a writing competition here.

It's as though modern technology has actually taken us back in time rather than forward.

There are one or two posters who continually spam threads with multiple posts and then say "Oops, I.Phone"

If they haven't learnt to use them by now, they're probably better off not bothering.

a ;d;alid a;lskdj f;a aoiweqpenv.

worra I thought it was the blackberry users who did that?

Unless I'm reading it wrong, I don't think the OP is talking about commas and typos...more random words that make no sense at all to try to follow.

Even so, to point out mistakes then make her own.. Well, it's laughable really

Not sure Katherine, thought it was I.Phone with the posters I'm thinking of?

Wow, Euphemia! I love you!

I had no idea you could turn the bloody thing off.
Had i realised, I would have been spared the embarrassment of telling another board that I have 23 vaginas

Tanith

See? 23 vaginas! Couldn't make that shit up lol

It's not just bloody iphones, blackberries double post as well, it is not user error - just sometimes you press post message and the message comes up twice 9with exactly the same posting time).

It is very annoying and there is a thread in site stuff where tech is looking into it.

What was it meant to say?

I meant to say "variations" (a la OFSTED).
It was quite a serious thread, until the iPhone decided to liven it up a bit!

Ha! hell of a boast there then

Well I don't know what that rogue 9 and ) were about.

That was user error.

There is no preview on the ap.
The typing area is only a few lines and the writing is small.

Autocorrect is stupidly quick and some times barmy, splitting words in two or replacing a correct spelling with a more common word (because it was spelt right your not looking out for its bossiness). It's also not a very good spell checker. I'm dyslexic and it struggles to offer the right word for some of my worst attempts. Word or Google would probably get them.

Also there is no mark wrong words, but don't correct feature on an iPod like there is in word.

I tend to post on my iPod while doing something else, so yes I post in hast and repent at leisure.

You're as I said post in haste and be

thank you lovely lady up thread.i will now no longer text my mother with the words wank you
