I used to think...

some of you were terrible typists, or worse, semi-literate.

Yet since I entered the realm (servitude?) of the smart (aleck) phone I realize that many of you are posting from your phone. These silly things like to change, omit, or foul up the input of the words we attempt to use...OFTEN.

I find myself editing most of what I post, KNOWING that I typed a word that somehow is now not included in my post.

I believe that these devices are in fact NOT smart at all. Nay, instead they mess up our work to make US look dumb.

What say you

I just found this site (LINK) for postings of messages that were affected
with the auto-correcting feature, lots of hilarious results!

"Smart" phones and other "smart" products aren't smart at all. They're just stupid in more complicated ways.

I have a dumb phone that I don't know how to operate.

You got the perfect one for yourself, then.

I HATE auto correct/suggest or whatever it's called. The wife got an ipad on loan from work and I've found it nice for casual surfing but loath the thing for typing because it's constantly suggesting things.

I say I can give too much of a **** about what I type on here at times.

I need to Jerry it up just once.

Then wash... With a wire brush.

It is all part of the machines plan to subjugate us.

You aren't on an iPhone either...
