Auto-Correct....
Today I feel the need to speak my piece on Auto-Correcting. I hate it. Don't correct me...it's insulting. Maybe I WANTED to misspell that word....Mr. Iphone..have you ever thought of that? Okay..case in point. I have a daughter...she's 26.....now...I realllllllllllllly hate it when Mothers say their daughters are their BEST FRIEND. I think that's unnatural. But that can be addressed on another day. Nonetheless...my daughter is old enough now to NOT be totally embarrassed by me.....nor hide when I walk in the room....and we do text a LOT. So today.....she sent me a text and helllllooo Auto-Correct....for a moment I thought she was confessing to me that she was making her living walking the streets of Dallas....perhaps you get my drift. It was shocking.....I mean my heart did skip a beat. She has a college degree...I was under the assumption she had a responsible job. Was she coming clean with the fact that she was really Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? Okay, Okay...maybe for just a mili-second my thoughts did drift to Richard Gere and maybe the shock wasn't quite so bad. But back to Auto-Correct....do you like it? I know there are websites about funny Auto-Corrects......I haven't read them....I have my own. I teach.....I spell...I can't add 2+2....but I CAN....write. Yes, yes, yes...I know I can turn Auto-Correct off...but then what would I gripe about? I mean really..........................
