When it does predictive texting, it has come up with some rude stuff that I swear I have never typed.
I type "stupid," it adds "bitch." I type "tight," it adds "ass." As my friend put it, "I had to program my phone to do that!"
For some reason, it won't let me add the word "fuck" to the dictionary, but I suppose Google has to draw the line somewhere.
Today, for the first time, I tried voice to text. What a joke!
I tried to invite a friend to dinner and say, "There is no charge, but they do an ask. The next one is June 5."
My phone wrote: "There is no charge, but they do an ass. The next one is due today."
What do you do when your technology is technologically challenged? Or maybe my phone is more of a pervert than I am?
Pardon the short post. I'm a bit under the weather. At least I can say the word "fuck" here and have it stick.

Get better soon - I expect you have just run yourself ragged not telling people to fuck off (even when they deserved it).
Predictive text does my head in. It never, ever comes even close to what I thought I wanted to say. And I don't think I am even going to attempt voice to text. Damn it.
As long as machines can't curse right we're safe from AI!
Another reason why I don't have a mobile phone.
Oh no, I really hope you feel better very soon. Chin up!
Get well soon..!
christian websites
I hope you are better soon - get some R&R this weekend if you can. xo
i love that your phone has a dirty mind....LOL!
Oh, do feel better very soon, my dear....You are no doubt exhausted from your very hard work for all these many many months....Rest Well!!!!
When I get a new phone, the first thing I do is turn off predictive texting...
I hope you feel better real fuckin' soon.
What Debra She Who Seeks said. I know the feeling. Cold knocked me off my feet and blog for 2 weeks, couldn't sleep and watched endless Petticoat Junction re-runs. Hard to believe that was ever a show. Still better than the infomercials.
i do hope you feel better really soon!
hugs
p.s. i linked to you today!
Oh boy, thank you for giving me the perfect opportunity to share a story. I attended a city planning meeting and was seated next to the Assembly of God pastor. I was typing my notes on my Kindle notepad app which makes some strange corrections. The leader was giving us a website for the city and the preacher was helping me because I didn't get it and he was spelling it out for me. I was typing and not paying attention. Suddenly he laughed and I looked. I had typed fornication.com. He announced this to the whole group. Glad he had a good sense of humor.
I clicked on the link from Betty's...
I can't tell you how many times I have laughed at what my phone has thought I said. Anything from obscenities to total nonsense.
Voice to text... In other words, a phone call. What'll they think of next?
Hope you're feeling better, Riot Kitty.
I quit talking to my phone as she (I am assuming it's a she) can't understand me. I find it laughable that phones change non-swear words to swear words and often resort to name calling. (such as bitch or ass) The programmer of those devices is probably a sick fuck. But I guess I couldn't type that into my phone, huh?
I come from the blog of Betty Manousos, Cut and Dry, and I love your corner, so if you do not mind, I become a follower of your magical space.
Hugs and kisses.
Rest up, Riot Kitty...we need you back out there fighting the battle on Monday! ;)
Thanks everyone ;)
GA, I laughed about that ALL DAY LONG!
And thank you Betty!
At least your phone isn't racist like my friend's. He probably could get fined for racism or discrimination based off some of the things said.
Voice to text is hilarious...you should see what pops up when I speak Spanglish!
DW: Wow. Seriously? That's really disturbing.
Ily: I bet! You could do a post on that.
I thought it was just me! That stupid microphone never recognizes what I mean to say, and I always blamed it on my Southern accent. And I am also pissed at the fact that when I'm saying "that fucking whoremouth" it translates it into a text message of censored f****** w**** mouth words.
I am an adult. I know what I meant to say. Don't censor me. I guess I have the opposite problem; I wish my phone was more "R" rated. ;-)
I always make fun of my wife, because her phone doesn't understand her. It'll understand me, though. Keep in mind she has no accent whatsoever, so... I think it's just racist. :)
Kathleen: That's hilarious!
ABFTS: Seriously, that's shitty. BTW, I just tried to type that and it came out "shirt."
tight and ass is just priceless!
IA: I thought so, too ;)
