Na, fuck everyone using autocorrect these days, it makes text conversations so stilted, hard to read and passive aggressive feeling.
We threw away emotional nuance in texting because of the people who just find it annoying not to text in proper english.
Slang and abbreviations are expressions of context and familiarity which are necessary for conversation that isn't purely transactionary in nature.
First of, how little do you have going on to find time being upset at people spelling correctly?
Second, who are these we? Sounds like a problem you have with your contacts.
I still get communication based entirely on hieroglyphs.
I find it slightly but not overly insulting you think the nuance of language is not consequential. What are we doing here then?
I am not upset at any one particular person at any one point, I am upset at a trend.
Upset at the trend of spelling words correctly?
Maybe you'd feel more at home if you moved to a ghetto. I hear they are, in general, more cavalier with their use of language.
What the hell kind of answer is that?
Maybe just type in English like a human instead of making me guess what you're trying to say. And fuck that "u" shit. You don't have a 12 key phone anymore.
no u
I don't need autocorrect to write without obscure abbreviations on my phone!
auto correct sucks balls
auto correct can suck Bopha! Deize Tigrona Nutsedge
Fucking autocorrect.
...
Fucking
What the duck, I intentionally tried to write ducking both times. I only manually typed the last one, the other 3 are autocorrect. So useless.
I no longer have this problem due to Android. But the way to solve this is to go to the shortcuts page in settings where brb turns into be right back, or whatever, and make shit shorthand for shit, fuck for fuck, etc
