I’ve always thought I had fairly skinny, though slightly knobby, fingers. See:
I should note that I took a photo of my hand and was so horrified by the dried-out reddish skin that I had to run and put on hand lotion. Getting older and the ill-effects of central heating…it’s not pretty.
Anyway, apparently my fairly skinny fingers are no match for this Device of the Devil (aka, the iPhone):
I continually fat finger and send the most ridiculous messages, like this one from the other week:
Friend: I think you meant to say “bit.”
{Note from Shannah – referring to a blog typo}
Me: Ed. Just saw that myself!!
Friend: I’ve been called many things in life,
but this may be the first time anyone has called me Ed.
Me: I shouldn’t type on my iphone. I think I meant to say “Erg.”
Friend: So, you meant to call me Erg?
That makes even less sense.
I.Don’t.Like.The.iPhone.
You have lovely fingers. You were probably done in by the error correction feature. Sometimes it's quite hilarious the things that the iPhone can come up with. You might try turning that off, and see if you don't like the results better.
Hence my error yesterday asking for suggestions for "live streaking news" rather than streaming. As an iPhone user, I think it's 50/50 – half fat fingers on a teeny-weeny touch keyboard, half the auto-correct/fill.
Regardless, you can blame it on the iPhone.
