Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
is anyone else seeing autocorrect suddenly broken?
Yes. Autocorrect used to great. But as of about a year ago, autocorrect became retarded. Whatever was changed with it made it terrible.
I turned it off on my phone. Probably not smart since I’m a terrible speller.
Sorry… Greekish hasn’t been around for a while?
Speaking of u/Greekish ... I've always appreciated his "willing edits", often delivered with a little spice, as it raises the bar for all of us.
Amen sista!
Personally, I did not. I don’t need an editor to come through a low key commenting forum - to check all of my grammar and spelling. Also, some of us use Siri, and she will change text even after you press save.
If people publicly request you to not come behind them, and try to correct everything that I comment on, and then you have to direct message them, and ask again - to me that means they’re just an asshole, and they think they’re superior to everyone else.
I had to send direct messages to this person to ask them to stop, and they would not. They were rude and disrespectful. Apparently at one time they were an editor of some sort? I guess he felt the need to come here and continue with that job, I guess without getting paid though?
Insufferable. That’s the only word I can use to describe the interaction I had with that person.
Don’t know why you were downvoted, ugh! Yeah there’s a certain peron here I don’t talk to. Aggravating as all get out! I’m the first to admit I didn’t like school and it shows. I’ve never been a strong speller. It’s bad when google doesn’t recognize what you are typing. Amen on talking to smart phones for dictation. They don’t understand southerners. I don’t even try.
Good one, Bazinga🤣
