Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 24, 2013
Transcript:
Goat: What are you doing, Pig? Pig: Reading this text from my neighbor Bob. He's the one Rat's always fighting with. Goat: What'd he say? Pig: That he wants to be friends. Goat: Oh, yeah? What's he propose? Pig: He's asking if we think we could handle getting some coffee together. Goat: What a nice gesture. You should tell him you'll treat him. Pig: Oh, that would be so special. I'll do it! I'll...treat...you! Oops. Goat: What happened? Pig: Autocorrect. "I'll threaten you." Goat: That's a slightly different message. Pig: Oh, look. He has a special message back.

You couldn’t have just called him instead of texting him, Pig?

Everyone’s always slamming autocorrect. Pardon my ignorance, but can’t it be turned off?
blunebottle about 11 years ago
Drove me nuts until I learned how to turn it off…….some inventions are just too over-thought!
Sisyphos about 11 years ago
I agree with legaleagle48. Why not use the phone to phone Neighbor Bob, Pig? And turn off “Autocorrect,” which has become a tragicomedy trope already!

Maybe he has LGD’s phone.
finale about 11 years ago
Sad when you do autocorrect more than actual typing. Eyesight, dexterity and the inability to remember/use shortcuts; ahhh……age.
puddlesplatt about 11 years ago
Ooops!
corzak about 11 years ago
In return, neighbor Bob signed Pig up for a guided tour of the Hormel plant.

I wonder how many fights and misunderstandings autocorrect has caused.

Kids and women??? It is the men at my place of work who text the most.
legaleagle48 about 11 years ago
I never text unless I absolutely have to — I HATE doing it as much as you do!

Rat’s had the autocorrect reprogrammed on poor Pig

Some of my best writings have squiggly lines under most of the words on my pages !!Autocorrects/Spellchecks have no imagination…
Rickapolis about 11 years ago
Favorite auto correct: ‘My pen is leaking." That is the ’before’. You may imagine the ‘after’.

Oh…..dear.

Mexed missages!
alviebird about 11 years ago
I dislike using my phone to text, but it’s different on the computer. I use Google Voice to text from my computer, through my phone. Texting from a full sized qwerty keyboard is easy, and it doesn’t even use my airtime.
TWODAN about 11 years ago
Poor naive Pig. But that’s just part of his charm. Hey Steph, I want to know what has happened to Larry and the Crocs. I sure hope the politicaly correct Gestapo hasn’t forced you to stop drawing them.

My autocorrect enjoys listening to my favorite “mice”, and has invited my friends to “Rice Hummingbird park.”
