My daughter started a new school.
She has come home with 3 seperate sets of paper.

Each with 2 pages printed front and back.

2 of the are the exact same.

Why the fuck do I have to wrote out her address 3 seperate times?! Why do i have to wrotes my email 4 times?! Her name so many times..
And on and on.

Im not doing the duplicate one. They can look at the other one.

But seriously its 2025! There should be a better system.

Your reply tells me everything I need to know. You’re not a teacher OP, I don’t care why you’re lying, just stop.

You really think an old Germanic word used in the 18th century and which meant the snout or nose of an animal would be coded into modern keyboard autocorrect software? Even if it was, it wouldn’t be corrected from “wrote”

Another poster pointed out that IOS autocorrect is ridiculous but I’ve tested mine repeatedly, “wrotes” is autocorrected to either “write” or “write a”.

They are not typos. The OP clearly struggles with spelling. She would not be getting such critical responses about her poor spelling and grammar, if she were not behaving so aggressively and in such an obnoxious manner.

Aggressive?
I would say its the absolute height of aggression and obnoxiousness to come to a post online and critique someone's spelling for no reason at all.
It doesn't benefit anyone and is done with the sole I twntion to shame and humiliate.

Your issue isn't that I am standing up for myself against your awfulness its that I didnt break and cower.

You think teachers don’t make typos?

Also, people’s autocorrect bank of words can differ.

My autocorrect is an absolute pile of rubbish, I cannot rely on it at all.

This is a chat forum, not a spelling bee, nobody should be expecting or demanding perfect SPAG here.

Down with spag ‘pendants’, huzzah!

In all the time you’ve been on here bitching and pissing you could have filled the forms out and be onto your second g&t.

I don't know if its a shitty childhood or not enough action in the bedroom but trust me you need to work on you more than I need to worry about my typing

What a thing to say. And you work with vulnerable kids and presumably some victims of trauma 😳 Goodness.

I don’t know about Android, but iPhone autocorrect is the most un-intuitive pile of rubbish I’ve ever had the misfortune of using.

I'm android all the way.

Autocorrect is a bit of an arse, and often wrong... but in my experience it doesn't make up words...

I've had a very productive day.
The forms are as completed as they're going to be.
And I don't drink.

It doesn’t correct every word either, so if you type in a hurry and get a word wrong, it can leave your typo exposed.

Thats literally all it is.
Old phone on its way out with lag. So even after ive finished typing the words are still appearing on the screen.

No chance of getting a new phone anytime soon so no drama on my end.

Wasn't aware it would ruin the day of so many sad empty people.

You’re fine, OP.

You’ve been picked on for a pile on, for some reason.

I hear you. My iPad was the same when it came close to end of life. Head-bangingly annoying.

When my GC started in primary, we had to fill out a,
General information form, health, PR etc,
Permission for photographs,
Permission for off site activities, forest school etc. As any legal documents, they all had to include full names, DOB etc.

Don't know what to tell you babe.
A lot of teachers I know have issues spelling.
We check our work but newsflash this is Mumsnet and I could not care less about what your sensitive eyes have to process

Like a rational person who is definitely a teacher would do

You’re missing a comma and a full stop in your sentence.

When you point a finger at someone, three fingers point back at you.

It gets a whole lot worse at secondary. You’re going to need to make peace with this: its not getting any easier.

I disagree. I have one in Secondary and can't get over how easy it's been.
There was not 1 sheet.

Everything has been digital. Absolute bliss.
