Facebook's autocomplete feature on proper nouns is horrendous, especially on non-western names. I don't know whether it's the mobile app that's acting up. A relative of mine, a few years younger than I, sent me a message to get in touch. I responded to her asking her to call me by my first name rather than a respectful 'akka' ( big sister). After a couple of days when I read her reply I was kind of surprised why she still stuck to calling me akka. And then when my eyes proceeded down to my original message, I was befuddled to read ' Please, why akka, you can call me Sukarno' ! WTH! Just after I had typed the first two letters of my name, the FB angels decided to take over and do their thing! I winced in pain imagining what she might have thought of me after reading this!!!!!
This happened a few months ago. DD exclaimed enthusiastically as I took out her lunch box from her lunch bag, " Amma, I can read my name on my lunch box !" .
I went " Really ?", she responded " yeah, see- P-Y-R-E-X ". Sitting right above those letters is a label spelling out the name we so lovingly gave her!
May be I am the one who's late to this party, but did you know what a Qwerty is? I stumbled upon 'Qwerty keyboard' when I was reading the features list of a mobile phone. Qwerty is the design of a standard keyboard of a typewriter or computer as we are all used to. It comes from the first six letters from left to right on the top row : Q,W,E,R,T,Y!
