The worst one I've seen is "go to the gym your fill better"

I find I make far more typos now that I use an ipad and the autocorrect changes perfectly decent words into others!

I saw this one yesterday:

Sometimes in life u gotta do what u think is ryt

I have one 'friend' who puts 'harms' for arms. Another who doesn't understand how apostrophes work and ALWAYS posts 'i'n'. Makes me want to scratch my eyes out. But if I deleted everyone for bad grammar would be friendless Grin.

ThreadWorms · 05/04/2013 18:09

trinity, Apple autocorrect is awful. It especially likes to substitute 'if' for 'of' and it's so fiddly to go back and correct it Confused.

gallifrey · 05/04/2013 18:35

and another one on a selling page "gawjus size 10 dress never bin warn"
what is wrong with these people?!!

olivertheoctopus · 05/04/2013 18:36

Urgh. Esp to the "gawjus dress never bin warn". My ILs are northern and drop their h's but they text without them too: "as e ad a nice birthday?'.

Cezzy · 05/04/2013 18:37

I hate bad spelling but autocorrect seems to change things and I don't realise before posting so I end up with appalling grammatical mistakes.

olivertheoctopus · 05/04/2013 18:37

Plus MIL actually can't spell birthday so all cards/texts etc say 'brithday'. Grrrr

SoleSource · 05/04/2013 19:39

AnythingNotEverything · 05/04/2013 19:43

Can you spell CHAT, OP?

LilyLovesRoses · 05/04/2013 19:47

Can you spell CHAT, OP?

I don't get it Confused

gallifrey · 05/04/2013 19:50

Another one I just thought of - people that spell angel incorrectly. On Facebook the other day my friend put a picture of her little angle asleep!

cookielove · 05/04/2013 19:51

Ha ha i would have mocked them!!!!

LilyLovesRoses · 05/04/2013 19:52

Oooh this thread should have been in Chat? Right ...

I've seen loads of threads on here that aren't AIBU - so what?

The OP isn't the first to do it and won't be the last.

AIBU has more traffic. Stop being a bitch about it.

KobayashiMaru · 05/04/2013 20:39

It has more traffic because people litter it up with non-aibu shite. Hmm
