I noticed this a day or two ago. With whatever the latest dictionary/spelling/word suggesting update my phone got it suggests Trump as the next word after typing the word fuck. I wonder if it's a dig at Trump and my phone manufactures or Android did it on purpose, or is it based on some learned patterns from users. Either way it's offensive. If it auto suggested Obama, I'd say it learned from me, anyone know how the phones suggest the next word?

What is a phone or any other device doing "auto-suggesting" or "auto-correcting" jack shit? Can't you turn that crap off?

Auto correct is my worst enema!




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Because it's a motherfucker to type on those screens, especially if you're like me with big fingers, so you end up spelling words like "ypu" or "abd" or telling folks about how much you "locwd watching astar Eards". And yes, you can turn autocorrect off.

After the latest update, my Galaxy seemed to forget what I had taught it, very annoying, so now I have to retrain it, like a retarded puppy that lives next to my testicles.

I don't know how or where I'm going to use that quote, but you can bet I'm going to work it into a conversation with my buddies. GEEZ, you are a funny man, ASG! Big Grin

You need to talk to someone about that puppy. If it's real, you have a problem. If it's not.....you have a problem. Big Grin

ASG you are a freaking poet.

I too have big hands, add to that semi-literate and unable to spell.

My phone does not do it. I think the suggested text is based on popular usage back at the Google/NSA/Android supercomputer trackin center aka Central Scrutinizer.

Of course, you COULD always just not type "fuck" as often...

Just as bad when you turn it off. Either way you end up spending as much time editing, or more, than what you typed in the first fucking place.

There are times you'll see some old shit you wrote and say WTF? Fucking phone or tablet keyboard is worse than Hitlery falling from the ugly tree and smashing every branch on her way down.

App deez nuts.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

I just tried it on my Galaxy and never saw Trump as an option. That is the first time I've used that word in a text, so who knows.
