Warning. Do not be drinking anything while reading this. No, seriously. I'm not buying you a new keyboard.

I have to wonder - is the iPhone autocorrect really that bad? Mine doesn't make these kinds of errors. I half suspect it's a side-effect of an adaptive algorithm that watches for people using what it thinks are uncommon words frequently and moving those to the top of the suggestion list.

Yes, I'm looking at stupid humor blogs instead of putting together this awesome music post. You will just have to wait 'till tomorrow.

omfg.

so....

your theory is these people type "anal" and "vag" a lot, so the phone tends towards those words...? (that almost makes it worse)

/me would totally switch to an iphone if it had a slideout keyboard (and wasn't controlled by Apple :-)

Damn, now my only excuse is my pathetic attachment to open source and freedom and stuff.

(Seriously, that's awesome.)
