Guys ! The GMA work party pick up this crazy website calledDamn You , Auto Correct , which chronicle 100 % real case of the iPhone autocorrecting what hoi polloi wanted to text to something cuckoo . Great ! Except for the part where it ’s simulated .
Seriously , go todamnyouautocorrect.com . essay recreating the flubs on your iDevice . They will almost by all odds not work most of the time , and your phone will correct a word to “ Shatnered ” approximately 0 % of the time . And yes , iOS take into account commonly used watchword and adds them to your dictionary for you . That ’s fine , that ’s a plausible explanation . But it does n’t change the fact that many of the entry practice that explanation to make very comical lies .
And that ’s what the internet ’s best for : queer musical theme that are taken to their utmost , overkilled , consistent conclusions with the aid of Photoshop . And it ’s o.k. for us to suspend our disbelief , or sustain it and bask the ride anyway . But George Stephanopoulos , I expected more from you . Ditto Robin Roberts , and whoever you other citizenry are . Because if you got snooker by the most obvious joke on the net , how do you end up treating the ones that are actually hard to recognize ?
Update : Some of you are insisting that Damn You , Autocorrect ! is existent , because iOS takes into account give-and-take you use frequently and adjusts consequently . But if that guy allege “ Shatnered ” enough in real life to move the dial that much , I ’ll use up my lid .
