I think I actually hate this even more now that their terrible plan is failing.

But if the plan actually goes the way it would in reality, that means the characters are drooling morons. Because no one would ever think this was a good plan. :argh:

Barney Google (March 21, 1922)


It's interesting to note that Barney Google was one of the first international comic megahits. It was adapted into a film, a TV-show (later, of course), animations and even got its own weird little novelty song, which was featured in an episode of Boardwalk Empire.

Apparently it also pulled a Shakespeare and added words and phrases into the English language! That I did not know, so thanks Wikipedia! :eng101:

I remember when I got my first mobile phone back in the 90s. After I tried out the different features (worm game, whoo!) and figured out that newfangled text message thing, the first thing I did was I turned off the asinine autocorrect bug feature and that was the first order of business with all new phones after that. Is it really that hard to do for most people?

Edit: I forgot the target audience for these. Still, it shouldn't be too hard to ask your son or grandson or daughter to fix that poo poo.

That was probably a predictive text thing like T9. I hated that too. It's not the 90's anymore. Modern phones have different inputs like swype which more or less requires something like "autocorrect" to work well. It also learns to predict you better as you use it. Still spits out some nonsense sometimes, but overall a very good bit of code. The issue was never with autocorrect, though, it was and is with people mashing SEND without reading over what they're about to send.
