cmatthewbacon Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It seems that you can't write my space bad space luck without the autocorrect changing my space bad to "mistake" Which is my mistake luck Is this really necessary, particularly since my space bad doesn't actually MEAN just mistake? best, M.

Greg B Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My bad luck Fine for me. Autocorrect is not a forum function. It’s a device function..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Err, no... Greg, sorry. It's changed after the form is submitted, not in the typing window: That's what the post above looked like when I hit "Submit Reply" And anyway, there's no text entry window on any platform in in the world that would correct my space bad to "my mistake"... If I hit "check spelling" on this window, which invokes Firefox's text correction, my mistake is not highlighted or changed. best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 For the avoidance of doubt, the text I highlighted in red above said my space bad when I hit Submit Reply. best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) "my mistake" Someone doesn't like Buffyisms! Edited July 15, 2019 by JamesP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 My guess would be that the answer is somewhere in the Badword Filter dictionary file... best, m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 On a forum I run, we have a profanity filter but there is a setting where admin and mod posts aren't checked. I wonder if that's the same here? If so it would explain why Greg was able to type the phrase. If not, then my mistake 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg B Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My bad luck That would explain it, I’m that used to watching what I type I forget there’s a filter. Although it is normally there for fruitier language. Try it now Matthew, you and Brian were right. Looks like our profanity filter doesn’t like American slang. There are some obscure ones in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
