Comment on I've got something special for you

I (mid 30s woman) am boss and I txtd one of my guys who isn’t around very often (he works a different shift basically, sometimes we overlap, usually we don’t)
“Hey 60 year old married man when you have a minute. Swing by my office, I’ve got something for you.”
I had a company gift to give him.
Auto complete decided the lips emoji was the best ending to my TXT. You know, the sexy red kissy lips.
I NEVER use that emoji. I never use emojis, when I told this story to other workers who I TXT regularly they were like “you yeah write out jazz hands or *sparkle emoji”
But my phone knew what that innocent TXT needed. Awkward, potentially work relationship ruining lips.

This is why I just…hate touch screen keyboards. T9 never made that kind of editorial decision, and a physical QWERTY keyboard with no software correction running at all didn’t either.

I think the problem is you hate autocorrect and not the keyboard itself. I don’t have autocorrect on mine and it’s fine

it sounds like you just can’t use a touch keyboard, most people use them just fine, and personally i type reasonably quickly with the odd mistake here and there.
