Most annoying iPhone typos?

[milani]

What are your most annoying iPhone typos? By this I mean when the iPhone changes one word to another word, or when you're slightly off and hit a wrong key and it changes the whole word to something different.

My most hated typos:

____ to duck

for to doe

I also hate when it changes:

mins (as in minutes) to mind - 9/10 its faster to type out minutes than to type mins, have it change to mind and retype it (assuming you miss the x bubble).

What are your most hated typos?

lol to LOL

 

[ravenvii]

lol to LOL

Haha! Same here, for some reason having lol as "LOL" makes me sound so... non-internet-savvy.

 

[Chundles]

Duck
Ducking
Ducked

ms instead of ma
male instead of make

There's probably a stack of them.

"get on msn for a sec" autocorrected to "get on man for a sex" 😱

 

[theDUB]

yesterday I tried to type "get on a man for sex" and it changed it to "get on msn for a sec".

 

[RTiii320]

"get on msn for a sec" autocorrected to "get on man for a sex" 😱

Hahaha oh wow..

I am most annoyed at the change of "lol" to "LOL".

 

[kdarling]

"ny" corrected to "by", at least when I use one of the job search apps.

Very annoying when searching for something in New York

yesterday I tried to type "get on a man for sex" and it changed it to "get on msn for a sec".

In Russia, YOU correct the iPhone.

lol to LOL

 

[deimos256]

yo coming out as to is really annoying for me

 

[sparkyms]

When signing off a message with an X is changes to "C".

 

[jimleszczynski]

lol to LOL

no doubt. i hate that... I'm like. well its funny. but its certainly not LOL funny. I feel like I'm that annoying person that fake laughs to hard at something mildly funny or attention.

Then again. I just might be over-thinking this.

"get on msn for a sec" autocorrected to "get on man for a sex" 😱

lmao!!!

lol to LOL and ducking/ducked etc have got to be the most annoying. oh and if you put xx at the end of a text (to a female) then it changes it to fx and I only ever notice when its sending!!!

I'm sure I read somewhere (may have been on here or elsewhere) that after x number of presses of the cross it will eventually ignore the correction. Any idea if this is true as I've clicked the cross countless times to LOL but it still does it... I would loose the auto correct completely but as annoying as it can be it is still quite useful 🙁

 

[koobcamuk]

UK to OK and XX to FX

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

"w/" to "a/". I like not having to type "with" but "w" is automatically corrected to "a" for some reason. "a/" doesn't even mean anything. 😕

 

[GFSarah]

sh** to "shot"

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Another is when trying to type "eleven". The "v" is nearly impossible to hit. I go to 7-Eleven every morning for breakfast and input the transaction in PocketLint, so it's an every day thing for me. Even though I capitalize the "E" on eleven it still won't let me type it right the first time.

I'm sure I read somewhere (may have been on here or elsewhere) that after x number of presses of the cross it will eventually ignore the correction.

I believe it only changes if it has the alternative spelling in its dictionary.

If it doesn't know the word you keep changing to, it won't take the change.

 

[NewGenAdam]

lol to LOL

Yes, the MOST annoying correction.

 

[mappyman]

texting to testing.

 

[sparkyms]

Haha had that "testing" one today.

My gf replied with "What, I've not been testing you!!"

 

[instaxgirl]

for - fir Why the duck would I want to say fir more often than for?!)

Colin - colon

the other common ones, LOL, tested, fx (actually what is that?) etc

 

[JTrain23]

hell to he'll

I do like wtf to WTF though....... makes more of an impact..... LOL..... I mean lol.....

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

hell to he'll

Amen to this one. The only time I'll type hell is when I'm already frustrated about something so this just puts the icing on the cake.
