I'm CONFUSED

[ScottA]

Not really...it's just that when I type in the word "c o n f u s e d" it is auto-replaced with this: confused ...which does not make for good communication.

Can that be changed?

Perhaps your computer is trying to tell you what we all know about you.

Typical response from you (for the record).

Scotta, perhaps you are taking yourself too seriously and cannot laugh at yourself when you give a straight mans' line for others to use in jest.

Aha! I see the tricks I learned on KLF work on this software "feechur" also.

Many years ago, I was on a forum that had a cuss-checker. It would substitute a nonsense phrase for the inappropriate word. Thus, you'd end up saying "bullsnerd", the KJV version of Matthew 26:34 become "before the mashed potatoes crow, thou shalt deny me three times", and don't even try to quote 1 Samuel 25:22. The end came when one of the admins posted his pregnant wife's sonogram, and a user who was a nurse pointed out that he was going to have a son, using the medically-correct anatomical term. The cuss-checker changed the term for the male reproductive organ to "toilet paper", and the nurse went ballistic. She fumed that this was absolutely ridiculous; she had used a term that was in all the medical books. She was right, and the staff agreed with her. They got rid of the cuss-checker.

I learned you can get around the software's algorithm by using some of the text editing features. In the second line, I changed the color of one letter in the middle of the word, using black-to-black to make it seamless.

It’s the opposite on here. My fault, not the sites. I’ll try to type “shut” and always another word ends up in my post which sometimes I miss.

Oh, dear.

For a while, I was saying "Oh, snerd" in real life.

It did that to me too! That was weird. Does that mean AI is alive and well?

Does it mean that all Aussies have bad attitudes? lol.

Great trick...Not sure I follow, but I'll have to try it. Thanks!

AI may be "alive" but it ain't well.

It was something mankind came up with so that's why it's not well and will be used by the forces of darkness to empower the anti-christ to control computer systems around the world.

I don’t know about changing auto correct except to catch it and do that manually.

The red color "f" should make it clear what I did.

For the CB staff: Having the software automatically interpret the word "confused" as an emoji does not have any value-add. If you have any pull with the techies, I recommend removing the feechur.

No, it is usually all the Americans on this site that do. LOL, they simply cannot laugh at themselves and take themselves too seriously as if the world revolves around their . . . . . . ? Lets see if they can fill that in appropriately. LOL

I haven't had that happen to me on this website, but I imagine you can delete the little face by backspacing.

Isn't it bizarre? Somebody forgot to code the semicolons on either end of the word in the smiley script, I guess.

You can do the same thing by inserting any BB code anywhere within the word.

I used the code for italics.
