Pokey Donkey

I hate auto correct! I just got a new iPhone and after a few weeks I could not take it any longer, so I had to turn off auto correct.

It is one thing for your phone to not recognize a word, and make suggestions of words you may want to use instead, but auto correct changes it for you. So, I was texting and typed in lol and my Droid decided I meant AOL, so it just changed it. Maybe it didn't think the text I received was funny enough for me to laugh out loud. I am very careful about reading my text before sending them, and when I would put the lol at the end of the text it would change after I pushed send.

Using my new iPhone,  I was sending a text to my husband. I typed "No problem love ya", and auto correct changed it to "No problem love us". I do" love us", but that was not what I wanted to say. So, each time auto correct changes my ending I have to send a second text correcting auto correct. Am I the only one that sees how crazy and time consuming this is?

I cannot tell you how many times I had to correct auto correct. Bikes! Oops, Yikes!

You really have to be careful to look texts over when you have auto correct, before you hit send. My son has had the name Veronica changed to Erotica. Imagine how that text may have been received. My family always sends their corrected text with the words "stupid auto correct". It is a good thing we have unlimited texts, because auto correct is making us double our efforts.

My favorite auto correct is the one from my son that changed okey dokey to pokey donkey. So,  we will use pokey donkey instead of okey dokey from now on, AOL.

Love us!
