Could have been avoided by using metric.
I've got something special for you

Side note: if you say you’re 6.5" long, it sounds like you really care about that extra half inch. If you say you’re 17cm, that’s just how long you are.
You’re welcome, penis owners.

For you I have 15cm

Sounds just smaller, metric bad.

Could have avoided “!” altogether, and send “For you I have 720”

Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn’t happen

could have happened on a french canadian qwerty keyboard:

German qwertz is the same in that regard

Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.
sicarius@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement. So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penisJumi@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Why make it easy when it could be complicated…

It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to send the quotation mark.

On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense

It works out for Dvorak.

Shift-1 is ! Shift-2 is "
That’s how it is on a standard British QWERTY keyboard.

Literally the opposite of your shitty comment.

Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.
Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.
jodanlime@midwest.social 20 hours ago
I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
But why would you be hitting enter when you haven’t hit ! yet? That would require you to skip !, to be typing at a high wpm but still be error prone, and for you to make three mistakes in a row and then for you to not immediately edit or delete and retype the message.
This takes low accuracy (so a typical hunt and peck user), high speed (so a usual touch typer), and a lack of technical knowledge, all rolled up with multiple failures. Nah, this didn’t happen.

I’m sorry, is this some sort of imperial joke I’m too metric to understand?

Yes. He’s offering his 15 cm
neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Roughly the size of an average penis. Makes it seem like he just offered to give her the “D”.
Which is a trip right to HR.

On my keyboard, those keys are pretty far apart
dee_dubs@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Different keyboard layouts. The big difference between UK and US layouts tends to be swapping the " and @ symbols, so on a UK keyboard the ! is shift+1 and the " is shift+2.

Maybe not on mobile keyboards? Giving the benefit of a doubt here.
boonhet@lemm.ee 5 hours ago
Estonian layout for an example has " on 2 shift + 2 and @ is alt gr + 2. ! Remains on shift + 1
We don’t use inches much at all though. But I’m sure there are other layouts with " on 2

" also means seconds. 1h23m45s = 1h23’45”. Same for subdivisions of degrees, 12°34’56"N, which are actually also called minutes and seconds.

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.
