AIBU to think that blaming Autocorrect for mistakes is just plain lazy?

[SurfBored73]

Just read back what you have typed before hitting Post, for fuck's sake.

And if you made a typo that doesn't render the meaning completely indecipherable please don't write another post with *correction. We get what you meant, just leave it.

Your defiantly right

When I do stuff like write Shat instead of what than yes I will correct it.

*what

If you don't like it and it annoys you feel free to pluck your eyes out and stick them in a jar of pickled onions.

so ner fucking ner.

Bloody autocrumpet

Bleedy autocrochet

Fuck it.

Navy, think we had a debate about cats or something a while ago?

Everyone else - jeez, it's really not that important to me. Just thought I'd mention it but do carry on over-reacting, it's quite entertaining.

It was all canine. I was being a bit sarcastic just then [grins]

You really don't remember? You were SO enraged at the time! God, maybe I do read too much into these forums?

Oooh, intrigued by the past bust-up being dragged over to this thread.

Op if you are not really bothered, then "for fuck's sake" is perhaps a little strong. Infact, making a thread about it at all is perhaps a little strong. Imo.

Don't take anything personally here - who really cares? I think as long as I haven't been a big nasty shithead myself then what is there to feel bad about?

Bibbity, I think I had just read the 400th *correction post tonight and my internal thought was FFS. The wine did the rest!

Navy, no, absolutely not. There was a pp way upthread that seemed a bit spiky. Wasn't you at all.

Who've you managed to piss off so much that you think they've waited in ambush for you to post a thread of your own?

Was it one of my corrections Surf?*

Everyone makes mistakes. Autocorrect is sometimes very funny as well.

I've had my phone autocorrect things sometimes and pressed send before I've realised. It happens. Nothing to get all riled about really.

What pisses me off is when a whole, lengthy post is practically incomprehensible.

but do carry on over-reacting, it's quite entertaining

Well yeah, over reacting is like the best thing about here. Duh. You over reacted, everyone else joins in. That's what we do here.

We're all allowed our little bugbears aren't we, honey? I like the debate. It has livened up what was an otherwise fairly average Saturday night in. I asked if I was BU and it seems I am. Fair enough. Now I know

I'm impressed I managed belligerence. For once a post on MN has been taken precisely as intended

Oh course you are. My current one is that I keep posting iPhone smilies instead of mnet smilies and I don't know how I'm doing it. But I know you all judge me when I do
