why do some People , type like this
Often a courtesy of mobile keyboards.
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.
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.
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.
It’s its s that’s attached to it
this is art
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.
Gboard does a pretty good job at highlighting your errors correctly in context. I’d guess it’s iPhone users fucking up grammar that much.
Gboard’s autocorrect is also fucking atrocious.
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’m pretty sure I turned that off ~8-10 years ago and Google has just remembered it ever since
Also I use swipe typing so that probably helps too
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!
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.
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.I type on a mobile keyboard. Have for over a decade. I’ve never typed like this.
I was wondering why my mind automatically tried to read this as poetry
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.
I see this more often from people for whom English is a second language. Maybe that’s the case here?
It might be, but they can never explain why. Is there some other language that does this? I don’t know of one.
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenken
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.
They never paid attention in schoo.l
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
I don’t think the All, Refuse, See, No, and Never in that screenshot are nouns. They also didn’t capitalize microwave.
Fair enough. They might just use autocorrect wrong, idk
My biggest gripe about the Chinese keyboards
Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak
Stilted with many gaps
Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain
But that’s a conversation for another time
Okay there, Kerouac.
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!)
So your speaking voice is grating, and you type the same way on purpose? Why? Just to mentally exhaust everyone around you? Is this a BDSM thing?
Carrot commas.
My dishwasher has windows.
I haven’t been able to convince her to use Linux yet.
Friends don’t let friends use Windows.
But guys will do anything for boobies.
Am I the only one who frequently thinks of Tracy Morgan saying “It was all worth it to see them boobies” as the host of some weird reality horror show years ago when I see the word boobies?
Nope! I know a guy who’s last name is super close to spaceman, so I always call him Space Man. Tracey is hilarious!
This is so sad.
I know. One family, two operating systems. But we can handle it.
Ba-dum
The cymbal’s not configured properly at the moment.
The mole man who comes up the drain to wash your dishes is very shy.
I have a dishwasher with a window and can confirm the existence of the mole man.
The mole man licks them clean.
>dishes go in dirty
>dishwasher yells and shakes for a few hours
>dishes come out clean
Are you guys really buying this?
It barely shakes compared to the washing machine. I’m not buying. I believe little elves scrub the dishes clean.
Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?
Truly the greatest test of morality in the modern age
I just spent a ridiculous number of hours replacing our dishwasher. This is a task that shouldn’t really take more than an hour or two, but there were complications caused by the previous owner of the house…plus I made the mistake of trying to fix our old dishwasher first.
If there are elves in that thing, I’d like to slap 'em around for putting me through that headache.
Probably the same elves Santa enslaved. That or the Galadhrim of Lothlórien.
I’m pretty sure the dishes that go in and the dishes that come out are not the same dishes!
That’s because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.
It does a pre-wash cycle to remove the really heavy stuff, but yeah I don’t really want to look at it churning vomit water for an hour.
It would make trouble shooting some things a lot easier though.
I was in a band called Churning Vomit Water for a while. Best polka ensemble of zero counties!
To be fair, if you do your dishes by hand, the water in the sink also turns into some disgusting sludge after just a few plates.
There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don’t need to see what’s in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.
You don’t need to see what’s going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.
I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines
Explains why I distrust that suspicious dishwasher
They could add that sliding cover which plane windows have
It is also nice to see if one of the spinners is blocked. Saved me quite a few batches.
Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.
It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.
Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.
Don’t lie, I know there’s a man in there licking the dishes y’all tryna hide.
Where else are the house elves supposed to live in modern homes? We don’t have servants’ quarters and the closet is packed floor-to-ceiling with vintage porn.
In the wall hole that suspiciously looks like a doorway.
That’s where the mouse lives. And it sleeps in a bed made out of a matchbox.
Also, it wouldn’t really look nice - a typical stainless steel dishwasher looks clean - a microwave and oven (hopefully) look clean and tidy through the window. But a windowed dishwasher? Half full of dirty dishes for most of the day, and even when the dishes are clean they won’t look neater than a plain stainless steel finish (or whatever finish you prefer)
I saw this post and was all “yeah, where the hell is the dish window!” But then reading your comment, all these points are pretty obvious and make total sense ahah.
This has me thinking, could I have a cheaper microwave with no window? I mean i guess the window has saved me a few times because of stuff getting over-nuked but I never even considered the idea of not having one.
One has to keep radio frequencies from leaking the other has to keep water from leaking. One of the two are much harder to do.
Just curious, what’s the reason for these parts to be expensive? Is it that they have to be properly sealed (unlike an oven)?
washing machines tho
They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes
For those who like to spend over an hour watching how they work

How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar? I find it hard to believe someone would write like that without consciously making it as bad as possible just so people would comment on it. And I’m in just as much disbelief that no one has said anything about it.
I spent a good while trying to figure out what the joke was behind the capital words lol
I didn’t even notice until reading your comment… 🤯
Maybe that just have fat fingers and keep hitting the shift key. Or they just have shitty autocomplete.
Well, don’t take the bait.
Capitalism 👌
Could have been dictated potentially
Because it’s disgusting. That and because of the Templars.
Not to mention how disgusting The Templars are…
Im gonna need an explanation for the templars involvement here
It’s to hide the exploitation of the little gnomes that are enslaved in there. It’s like most people enjoy a good steak, but nobody wants to see how it’s produced. If you see the latter you’re likely to become a vegan. Do you want to scrub your dishes by hand?
My dishwasher has a window and a light.
I use more than one dish and one fork, so that would probably be too small for me.
Do you fill with something other than the caesetes?
You can also use traditional dishwasher tablets.
Wow, never heard of this, thanks for sharing!
Is this german Product?
French I believe
I also had one, and loved it
The German “Sendung mit der Maus” made THE video explaining how dish washers work YEARS ago!
It’s amazing, watch it!

Fuck that. I wasn’t sure if all my water jets were working in there so I put my phone in a bag while recording and ran that shit.
you’ll find that fucking video and post it right now
My apologies but it was like 3 years ago and has been long since deleted.
Damn that’s cool. Did you see anything? Maybe you still have the video? Upload it somewhere, I want to see!!
Technology connections cut a hole in a dishwasher to demonstrate how different detergents work.

Heh, came here to post that and you beat me to it by 40 minutes.
Other user’s comment up thread about “churning vomit water”… accurate.
Sorry. It was a few years ago and has been long since deleted. Forgive me.
haha don’t worry
