Is it just me, or is autocorrect on any phone just there for sh*ts and giggles?

I mean, how the heck do you get "terbium" from redbull?

I'd have to agree, but they are funny.

My youngest is called Brooke, but that's not what the auto-speller comes up with on my phone... me and my mate Tony still refer to her as Arnold. :D

I used to love smart text suggestions on the old nokias. Used to meet my mate at a pub called the Cock in Northampton. Needless to say it didn't come up as Cock so we decided to rename the pub instead. Best not say on here as it's a bit rude - yes ruder than the Cock lol :lol:

We also named each other by our smart text names, he was Paully which became Scully, another mate was Jax who became Law and I became Bay. I also call Law citag a lot as that's what came up if you typed b1tch. Oh the laughs! (yes we're sad)

My eldest is called Kalena, (it's the Hawaiian version of Karen, her mum's name) and typing that into a phone comes up with talent... :lol:

Try using T9 when you're texting in multiple languages...
