We have a working theory that the autocorrect tool on most smartphones is really a nefarious, self-aware technological being that is bent on putting all of us into totally inappropriate situations.No, texting "LSD" to our boss is not what we had in mind, phone. And why is it that you must default so faithfully to words such as "poop" and "eff"? How is it that calling someone "Mr. Incognito" could somehow turn into "Mr. Indignity?"
Nope, we're convinced that the smartphone is much smarter than it lets on - by some means of some sort of internal algorithm, your iPhone or Droid can comprehend the nature and the sensitivity of your conversations and then empirically reach for the most damning turn of phrase it can insert into the sentence you're typing.Then again, sometimes these blunders have a neat way of relating to what we were actually trying to say. Take the misappropriation of "Triboro Bridge" with "reunification" as you text your friend that you're on your way to see her - now that's a smart smartphone.
