It was meant to be some kaomoji version of two eyes closed with a frown (I have little knowledge about kaomoji), but I actually like your description way more.
We use an older version of Outlook at work and it turns :) into 🙂 but not the emoji but the Wingdings smiley which is the letter J when you use a different font. I only found out after months when somebody asked me why I put so many J’s in my mails.
I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing Outlook 🤨
If there’s a bad decision that can be made, the Outlook development team made it. It’s a real shame that the industry standard is a hot garbage fire of a program.
I’ve had to re-disable auto correct options multiple times in outlook. I’m perfectly fine capitalizing my own letters because sometimes I type code snippets in emails and don’t want those being treated as if they are sentences that need grammar and spelling corrections. I don’t need your fucking angled quotes either.
Red or green underlines to say you think there’s a problem are ok. Changing what I’m typing without me telling you to is not.
Mac OS has autocorrect enabled by default on the entire operating system. Why TF would I want that when I’m typing with a full-sized physical keyboard? It’s especially annoying when you’re typing code. So yeah, I disabled all that crap within a couple of minutes. It’s super annoying.
:P is appropriate a lot of times when 😛 is not, and the latter is what slack converts it to. 😋 Is what they should use. One looks like you’re being silly, the other looks sexually desperate.
Yeah, there’s a kinda cheeky tone to :p and ;p that none of the graphical ones I’ve seen have captured. :S is another one, where I see it as half smile, half frown/sad. Like “this is amusing but also horrible” or “putting on a smile despite everything being awful”. Any of the smileys on my phone that have more than one curve for the mouth look either crazy or sick.
Yeah :P growing up for me was always either “yeah that’s silly” in a more nondescript way, or it was something akin to “yeah XYZ isn’t great but it is what it is” — almost like a diet version of :/
Mine won’t stop conflating “mom” with “mmm” I swear to fucking God I’m about to root my phone just to find a way to remove them both from the built in dictionary.
The cherry on top? It goes both ways(giggity). So if im texting “thanks mom”, it wants to say " thanks mmm". And vice versa. Of course it’s not all the time, JUST at the exact worst times in conversations.
It’s gotten terrible. So has voice to text. My work iPhone OEM voice to text is literally useless, as is Google voice to text on my iphone. My Samsung OEM is ass. And the Google one via same Samsung, is getting worse by the hour, but used to be amazing.
Now, to take the ferry costs a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now, where were we?
