Only yesterday I was rejoicing the fact that everyday this week the trains free WiFi has worked allowing me the opportunity to read and actually like posts on Bloglovin. I opened my mouth too soon, because today it has betrayed me. On the only journey of the week where I do not have to change trains, its has decided not to function. Bollocks!
I love the fact that on most days I am able to keep up with the outside world, but I am similarly horrified at how the predictive text or autocorrect on my phone seems to think I speak.
It has this knack, smart little bugger that it is, of changing simple words, that while it may only be one letter, add a different context to a whole sentence. Instead of being ‘on’ the loo, I am ‘in’ the loo. I know you’re wondering how I was even able to type from such a small bowl in the first place!
My friend randomly found this picture on the internet during the week and enquired if it was me. Umm yes it is, apparently my arse is a star, how could she not have known. Actually, maybe I’m just an arse!
This past few days I have actually had enough time to comment on a few posts. Like myself, not everyone is able to reply right there and then, so sometimes I need to remind myself of what I said. It’s usually at this point that overuse of the term ‘FFS’ occurs as I look with horror at how my comments have turned out. I would be first in line to petition for a way to edit my comments on someone else’s blog, not just my own.
Clearly as I type away with merry abandon I do not pay enough attention to the fact that my phone is also merrily typing its own version of my words. Those of you who read my comments must think I’m stupid….I am, but not as much as my phone would lead you to believe. Take that look off your face, I’m being serious.
So forgive me readers, for many times I have sinned against Saint Grammar, but in my defence regardless of whether it was my fault or not, I’m blaming the phone.
In the words of the almighty Bart Simpson, “I didn’t do it, no one saw me do it, you can’t prove anything!”

It just occurred to me that if “Loo” were a term used here in America, we probably wouldn’t have that nickname! At least not by anyone trying to project a positive image of the city…

Absolutely agree with you on the need to be able to edit our own comments on others’ blogs and the fact that we must continue to blame the phones for everything!

roflmao ….. not because I think you’re stupid – I know you’re not – nor have you insulted Saint Grammar – but because I’ve heard horror stories from so many people who use their phones for all kinds of things – and the damn things go all dark and devilish – and well …. so many “odd but interesting” “spell checker” quirks come up …. leading to all kinds of ????!!!! “Really” …. hmmmm …. yeah, sure …..
So be not worried oh fearless one – as so many have heard in failed relationships – you can safely say “honestly honey, it’s not me …. it is you – damn you electronic device from hell!” XD
