I've got something special for you

  I used to have the habit of sending ‘kk’ instead of ‘ok’. Boss was a black woman. One day she messaged me and in response I put one too many ks…so ‘kkk’. I profusely apologized and she laughed it off but yeah, that was the end of me doing that, haha.

  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

  Ask for 5’ , get 6"

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

  At the equator, that’s like 600 feet.

  On my keyboard, those keys are pretty far apart

    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.

  • boonhet@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

    Maybe not on mobile keyboards? Giving the benefit of a doubt here.

  6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual

  Could have been avoided by using metric.

  • frezik@midwest.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

  • Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    For you I have 15cm

    • MintyFresh@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      15.5 cm*

      Sounds just smaller, metric bad.

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

  • neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    Yes. He’s offering his 15 cm

  Just stick to yes or no creep

  • lemsip@sh.itjust.works ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Depends on their relationship.
    It’d be creepy if they barely knew eachother. But pretty normal for somebody you know and respect.

  Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn’t happen

  source

  • FelixCress@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.

    source
  • sicarius@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 penis

    could have happened on a french canadian qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2

    Shift-1 is ! Shift-2 is "

    That’s how it is on a standard British QWERTY keyboard.

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

    source

    • FelixCress@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      6cm?

    Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.

    Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.

    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.

    source
  • toddestan@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It works out for Dvorak.

    source
  • jodanlime@midwest.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?

    source

    • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

    6 inches

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