Dear MN. WHY is 'bastards' being abbreviated to 'tards'?!?!

[AmantesSuntAmentes]

I don't generally swear (on here) but I have and its gone awfully wrong! Why is f'ing bastards being abbreviated to f'ing tards? Which is an abbreviation of 'retards' and not a word I'd ever or have ever used . It isn't an auto correct. The page is uploading with 'bastards' but updating (or whatever) to 'tards'?! Helllllp!

Bastards

Utter bastards

Complete and utter bastards

Absolute, bastarding twunts

Seems fine to me

Don't think its MNs fault....

why me-eee?!

Is this not down to the device that you're viewing on?

Your phone is disabledist.

Surely it's your autocorrect changing it not mumsnet?

Bastard

f'ing bastards!

Are you sure CuttedUpPear?!

I am admiring your very thorough testing :)

Bastards. Just checking.

99.99999% sure it's your autocorrect that's being a bastard and not us.

Its not mumsnet itsthe sevice you are using surely?

Damn your bastard autocorrect.

Olivia, both screenshots are of the same posting. If it were my autocorrect, I couldn't have changed it after posting, iyswim?

Maybe use the bastard 'preview post' facility?

Yep, works ok for me too.

Well 'tard is and abbreviation for bastard, isn't it?

Not that I'm aware of but I'm happy to adopt that theory, Methe!

Soooo, no explanation then, MN?

I've had weird things happen to some words on here.

One minute the whole word is there, the next some letters are missing.

Hi there AmantesSuntAmantes Think you missed OliviaMumsnet's post earlier. We're pretty sure it's nowt to do with us. Is it maybe something to do with your autocorrect settings?

Iona, my autocorrect can't correct or change a post after it's posted! See the screenshots above.

As a bastard by name and by nature, I've never encountered this

Well, that is a bastard problem alright.
