Pesky and predictive (not to mention embarassing!)

Another scene taken whilst sitting in traffic on the way home the other day

As many of you will be aware, I take most of my blogging photos on an iTouch. It's basically like an iPhone but without the phone. I also use this little device for internet things like email, a touch of shopping, browsing and of course commenting on your blogs.

Why am I telling you this?

Well, it's a very small keypad that I type on and that in conjunction with out of control predictive text I sometimes accidentally post some quirky things.

Case in point: The other night I posted on the very witty and highly entertaining Make Mine Mid Century blog.

Here is my comment...

What a lovely giveaway! I adore the pillowcase and gave been wondering what Pam's soap is like. The moomin doesn't look very impressed that she's portrayed as a purse.

I'm with you on that house - utter gorgeousness!

Stick to your guns re the bad customer service. That's such a gripe of mind too. I thought of you recently when I bought some buts from an online shop calked Larry Post as they had moomin computing in books that looked nice. Their service was good too :)

Whhhaaaattttt?????? How to make me look either insane or like an idiot, or maybe both.

Yes, okay, I should have checked it before I pressed GO but the screen is tiny and it was getting on bedtime. I did laugh when I read it, so did MMMC.

(For the record, I did not go "butt shopping" like I said I did)
On another blog I just caught myself from posting that she had some "lively thongs" rather than "lovely things" and I have also been lucky to catch myself a number of times when the word "what" came up as "shat". Simply charming, don't you think?

Soooo, in addition to a nice new DSLR, can I also put in a request to the universe for an iPad or a laptop that works properly, pretty please?

Do you guys find technology frustrating? Is it getting away from you? I started getting lost when bluetooth started popping up. And no, I am not THAT OLD!
