We brainstormed better options, as most of them were using it as fluff anyway. Also, my phone recently changed my "your" to "you're," which elicited an actual gasp from me. Thanks anyway, phone, but I actually know which one to use when, and you don't.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087847312958608930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-7341139855135278592011-09-01T06:22:00.604-07:002011-09-01T06:22:00.604-07:00My phone changed the word "slurpee" the ...My phone changed the word "slurpee" the other day to "Siobhan."

I have a lo...Hello, my captain. *playfully salutes*<br />I have a love/hate relationship with the whole autocorrect function. Sometimes it is a life-saver and other times it can (and has been) terribly embarrassing. I'm not elaborating, but suffice it to say that a G-rated Tweet once came out quite the polar opposite. *lowers head in shame at recollection*<br /><br />-JimmyJames Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330190226764495766.post-90480936700136579632011-08-31T19:15:34.708-07:002011-08-31T19:15:34.708-07:00Ha ha!
