Auto-correction is one double edge sword. On one side its a miracle worker and on the other side its a pain in the "As". Get it? ...."As" rather than the word "Ass" cuz you know how you try to use cuss words...yea never mind. Anyways as I was blogging. I really cant say that I hate it or that I'm in love with it. It varies for every situation I'm in. You might be wondering what these situations may be and I will speak freely on them. 1st I will explain why auto-correction is a good thing to have. I don't know about some of you guys but when I meet someone and get their numbers the text message just start to flowing and seriously when I meet someone I don't want them thinking I'm an idiot when it comes to grammar because a dumb person is a huge turn off ya know. Well you know those words you are having a tough time trying to spell out because you're tipsy (you know that's always the "perfect" time to text that special person you're interested in) and you don't want to feel like an idiot well you are graciously given the options or the correct spelling of the word you are butchering at the time being. Another great reason for auto -correction is that it basically writes out the whole text message for you. Now doesn't that just make it easier for you to do while driving now?! I know such a reliever. I only now just have to glance down for 2 seconds rather than 20 seconds. Before I get any hate mail I'm kidding about the 20 seconds. I try my hardest not to take that long. Oh don't look down upon me like you don't text and drive you douche. Why do you even think that invented auto-correction for?? Well besides people being dumb these days but that's neither here nor there.
Now that I got the pros of auto-correction out of the way it's time for the cons! "Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn" ::lightning clashes behind me::. Lets get straight to the meat and potatoes of why people such as myself cant stand auto-correction. YOU CANT CUSS OR SAY ANYTHING FOUL WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE A MORON! How many times have you tried to have a quick comeback to one of your buddies text message where you meant to say "Suck my dick" and what does it actually read "Suck my duck"! Not only did you get shown upped by your buddy but now you look like a 1st grader who is just starting to learn how to have a potty mouth. It gets worst when it comes to the con of auto-correcting. Let me ask you this. How many times have you sent something to someone and the word you sent was a word you typical use for certain people that you happen to program into your phone just to have during your convo with those certain people but goes to the wrong type of people because you were just texting in a hurry??? If not I will give an example. I have the world "threesome" programmed in my phone. Don't ask why I just do ok. Well I was having a text convo with an old co-worker of mine and I remember watching tv while texting and the text message that I was trying to text out was suppose to start off with the word "The". Yeaaaaaa didn't send the word "The" I sent "Threesome". Her response text..."Threesome?! Who do you have me confused with?!" Needless to say I deleted the word "threesome" from my phone. A person is smart, people are dumb.
