Shouldn't that be...
Facebook drives me nuts!
and
People post...

I suppose it should, but it is hard to do eng-tips on a phone...

Depends on the phone, I don't have any problem whatsoever.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

I love to read the didn't-pay-attention-in-grammar-school posts on Facebook. It eases the pain of reading reports from fresh college graduates. I can critique the newbie engineers and other folks at work with a lesser degree of sarcasm.

Artisi, it depends not just on the phone but the guy or gal punching at it. I'm a big fella, including fingertips. I gave up on touch-screen stuff a long time ago (along with cars that don't have fluffy, soft ceiling liners).

I have started giving more latitude to forum posts that I read, because I have noticed that when I go on some forums using my iPad, if I write a post and submit it, the words that the high lord Apple posts are sometimes not the ones that I typed.

hence the existence of damnyouautocorrect.com

but I doubt the post I quoted contained many unintentional word selections... even correcting for all likely autocorrects I still feel there is room to mock:

"Patients is so important, when we force things they break and impatients make for impulses. Calm down and let thy will be done, not your will. Have a great day and breathe. The only pressure on your back is the pressure you put there."

In particular...what important distinction between "thy" and "your" is this person trying to make?

I've never had a problem with Facebook posts. I've never seen one. Problem solved.

ivymike,

I have having fun reading damnyouautocorrect.com. Do you think these things are real? The Applebee's one (first click) implies that some programmer assumed that anyone typing "burger" really means "booger".

Do you care?

oh, some of them are real and some are fake. One of my favorites was the "giant camel toe" one... lemme see if I can find it.

Those of us who have to mess with the US Green Building Council on LEED projects have enjoyed what the Microsoft spell checker does to USGBC.

dgallup, you may have a later update of the spelling dictionary. This one caused a blow-coffee-out-my-nose experience.

"Add to dictionary" really isn't that difficult to use now is it?
