Autocorrect round-up thread

[Kandi1977]

If anyone find bacon dodger to be offensive, then I worry.
It's just a funny way of describing a group of people with an item of food they don't eat. Absolutely harmless!

Never come across any of those (yet).
What makes you think those are "corrected"

Since you obviously have come across those terms, just turn off the swear filter and go back into the thread to see what it is.

M*slim

R*pe was changed struggle cuddle
M*rons was changed to macarons, IIRC

Oh and hit.nail.on.head = tickle my balls with a feather

Seems someone on the admin has changed r@pe to struggle cuddle and Mu5lims to Bacon Dodgers, why anyone would change them is odd

Whilst mildly amusing for five minutes once, most of the auto corrects are now annoying and childish.

However those recent two that you mention have the fingerprints of @scaramanga all over them. The r*pe one is unforgivable.

Agreed.
But it is very strange that some of you have not turned off the swear filter; why the fudge not?

Those are both no-no words for Google. Have to be censored or lose the ads and search results.

'Struggle-cuddle'? No. Do better. That's f u c k e d up. 'Bacon dodgers'? No. Do better. That's b u l l s h i t.

As a matter of fact, it appears the solution lay in the initial question.

 

[scaramanga]

They're just words. They don't do harm (unlike, ironically, the subject of both autocorrects).

Can I put a request in, can “Football DNA” be autocorrected to “flimflam level” please?

It’s an absolute nonsense term and should be eradicated henceforth.

A new one:

You pa.y your money you make your choices = you touch yourself you make your choices

The question is why though. To the posters it's irritating, to the lurkers it's either nonsensical or downright offensive at times.

I guess the benefit is watching people moan who could simply just turn the swear filter off (of which I am firmly in that camp). It seems a bit of an "everyone look at me I am troubled and crave attention" ie the struggle cuddle nonsense, why would someone actually spend time making that change as if it's the way forward?

Take away the extremely offensive recent additions covering 'cuddles' and bacon, it's actually a work of art
