To be fair I haven't really noticed this til I became pregnant and started using mumsnet/fb/text message more but when did half of women completely lose the ability to spell words correctly. I mean sometimes I have no idea what the heck is going on. I mean is their keyboard broke or are they getting charged by the letter?

Example someone please translate this for me: "js rushed home to lie don its buggin me im not abin much luck in this pregnancy at all breezed throu my others reali it mst b age"

or this " i can hardly see at miih" what the heck is a miih?

I take it this is not a young lady thing because this woman is in her 40s. My own mother constantly struggles with threw/through or you're/your. Did I miss some sort of revolution in language some time ago?

Oh there you are OP. Back with more grammatically incorrect musings.

Have a glass of wine and stop being a goady fucker, there's a dear. Grin

Like most threads on AIBU, these things develop so well without the OP.

My texts are atrocious sometimes because my little baby boy knocks my phone about while I'm trying to write. Or my autocorrect inserts random words. It can be a little patio.

CakeExpectations - My huge breasts actually obliterate my view of the keyboard. That would explain it.

Are you not able to touch type and read what you type on the screen or are your hugmungus bazongas getting in the way of the screen also?

because my phone no longer has predictive text! And I have fat fingers

I can spell, I just can't count Smile. Before I type any comment online, be it MumsNet or Facebook and I am unsure of the spelling, I always check first. I don't have an ipad or whatever they are called, a laptop or a mobile phone you stroke, but a proper computer with a keyboard and mouse and I don't have false fingernails either. I don't really have nails because I'm a nibbler Blush.
