Typical fan boy response.
Chill, we think it's funny that a company's, note: one that we dislike, CEO has a funny auto-correct. We would be laughing if "Wozinak" did the same thing.
BTW: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But it's very typical of apple fan boys to take shots at other companies they "deem" crap, but as soon as someone knocks the great and "omnipotent" Pple they crap their drawers about it.
Lighten up dude. Do you think you're acting much better by calling everyone fanboys just for laughing at a funny autocorrect?
It definitely does with US English, I have 4.2.1 and I just tried it and it does.
It's actually Wozniak, and if you start typing in w..o..z.. iOS will offer to auto-complete to Wozniak.
I am full of light, could not be lighter, I was only stating that people who are more geared towards apple products have a tendency to go and bash Microsoft or any other company for that matter.
I am not here to troll or cause trouble, just stating my opinion.
No one bashed Microsoft. Most people here didn't even make fun of Ballmer, they simply laughed at the autocorrection. On the other hand you're basically bashing everyone here by calling them fanboys.
Well reasoned and logical, even if unwarrantably loyal.
(managed a straight face when typing that first part! yay!)
It must just be the UK keyboard, I have an up-to-date iPhone 4 (4.2.1) that's not jailbroken, and it still does it.
To the haters gonna hate comment:
This is funny. I promise. You don't have to hate someone to laugh at them. Even Microsoft guys don't like Ballmer for the most part, did you ever watch Pirates of Silicon Valley? You know the blubbering bald guy who follows Bill Gates around drunk and has no idea what Bill is ever talking about and knows nothing of computers? That's Ballmer. Anyway, point being, if Wozniak corrected to "what was that", we'd laugh to that too. It's just irony, and irony is good

I have not bashed anyone, I do not use the term so derogatorily I merely mean it as "one who is apple biased"
However there are those that do and have bashed Microsoft or any other platform for that matter. Anyways I am not going to reply in this thread anymore as it is only sparking an animosity between people here (myself included)
I know I am on a Mac forum, and I know that the majority of the people here generally have a dislike towards other non apple related products.
Problem is, especially in the last couple years, fanboys has come to have a generally derogatory meaning.
So next time, just say "apple fans" - it's even easier to type.
EDIT and re-reading what you posted, it did come across very derogatory.

Because I typed the word "Ballmer" into my iPhone to direct someone to a funny youtube video someone else had sent me, and it got auto corrected to "Baloney"?
Someone explain his logic please?
It's not like I sat there running through tons of names and trying to see if there were any good auto corrects.
dont worry about him, he has already embarrassed himself quite badly on this forum!
I miss easter eggs. Everyone has gone and decided to be all professional. Remember when IE had a fake bluescreen if you typed in Mozilla? The secret ways to show the credits in Mac OS? The flight simulator in Excel 97? Ah good times.
I remember them. The coolest easterneggs where the ones on PalmOS like the Taxi game.
Oh I forgot to put a video in my last post:
