Tell me you’re a white, racist bigot without telling me you’re a white, racist bigot. Edit: Oh yes downvote me that will change the fact that you’re a white, racist bigot.
there’s something really funny about the idea of the hitherto metaphorical kids on one’s lawn clipping the lawn, and that being the thing that gets the old guy all grumpy in this scenario. Like not loitering or doing drugs, just unauthorised lawn maintenance.
I read it as 'walk across the corner of your lawn". Old geezers meme is them yelling at people to “stay off my lawn” Although unauthorised lawn maintenance would piss them off just as well I suppose.
Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren’t supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that’s part of what’s going on here.
It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I’m both glad I’m not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.
I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)
It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don’t see why that bothers you so much
That, or if they’re like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don’t care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like “what the fuck did I write there”.
Another key to identify those is double words.
Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.
Why the fuck does autocorrect randomly capitalize certain words? It’s so irritating. I’ve never had any issue with commas though, so I don’t know where that’s coming from.
Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)
I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough
I’m on SwiftKey too and switched from Gboard for similar reasons. The only reason I’m not running one of the open source ones is that typing with one hand is unbearable without being able to to swipe, and I use my phone in bed a fair bit.
If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.
Good call! I hadn’t thought of that factor; even though my English keyboard does that, too. I can’t type random things it didn’t know until it was taught like “BLARGH” without it auto-capitalizing the entire thing, like it just did here.
Which is extra hilarious when it’s more nonsense memey things like “SQUART” or “VAGANAINIA” or “PREGANTE” or “DIYUCK” that my friends and I would spam each other with. Looking through the list of words it added to my ‘personal dictionary’ was hilarious. I struggle to get it to type all that nonsense in lowercase and it tickles me!
Oh, I see. That makes total sense. Mobile keyboards have truly wrecked the general population’s ability to use proper grammar. One thing I’ve noticed a lot is that they also tend to insert unwanted apostrophes. For example, typing “its” always corrects to “it’s,” which is very frustrating.
Which is due to missing context at the end of a sentence, probably. Therefore it just chooses the most likely, but often not best, word.
Workaround: Disable autocorrect, and check for underlined words afterwards.
I wish I had an autocorrect that just wouldn’t change anything if I put an actual word. I like autocorrect because it makes me type a lot faster when I don’t need to go back and fix as many mistakes.
Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.
I hate the whole “its” being converted to “it’s” no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won’t let me use it. Taught my keyboard “that’d” and it would autocorrect it to “that’s” every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn’t leave it, it’d force it back to “that’s” again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with “it’d” to “it’s” too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.
My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.
None of your replies even address the weird spaces before commas thing. I’ve directly asked people on Reddit and the answer is always idk if they even reply at all.
In German, the practice of inserting a space before punctuation marks is called Plenken. It used to be a common practice, but nowadays it is considered an error.
Auto insertion of space in mobile keyboards. Usually they also remove the preceding space when you press enter, but if somebody manually presses space after an automatic insertion of space then you get double spaces and only one will be removed
Unfortunately America is way too concerned with decorum in order to actually follow the rule of law. There is this idea that if we just simply pretend that everything is fine and that are enemies simply have different ideas instead of actively Desiring our debts, that everything will work itself out in the end.
If we had a functioning government that actually gave a shit about criminal justice and stamping out corruption, they would have slapped the cuffs on Donald Trump on January 6th, and his public hanging would have been a ratings extravaganza.
I am not advocating for violence against Donald trump, I merely stating that our constitution says that if a president refuses to give up power or behaves in a treasonous manner, hanging is how you deal with that.
These right wing cartoons are so odd: pictures and words with an expectation of comedy… yet nothing, no jokes, no subtlety, no double meaning, literally no skill or craft. Completely brain dead :S
Mine has a window and a light, but the light won’t turn on until the dishes are done so you can effectively see nothing in there. The conspiracy continues!
This may not work, but have you tried shining an external light through the (mechanical) dishwasher window, while the process in going on? Potentially while turning down lights in the room.
