Do People with iPhones not Read Their Texts Prior to Sending?

I have just discovered Damn You, Auto Correct!  Have you ever read this site?  It’s like Texts from Last Night, except funnier because they’re honest mistakes and not some drunk, college student submitting a stupid fake-text because it’s “soooo funny.” 

Let me tell you that I am on page 66 of 189 of DYAC.  This stuff is hilarious. But it raises a simple question:  Do people who own the iPhone really not read their texts before they send them? 

I do not have an iPhone, nor do I ever want one.  The only ones I’ve ever come in contact with just seemed to be a gigantic pain-in-the-ass, and apparently the autocorrect feature is a reinforcement of that opinion.  But, really?  Does no one think to check what they typed before hitting send? 

I am one to misspell things, and even word things in a moronic fashion, so I absolutely ALWAYS re-read what I’m about to send to someone, for fear of it coming across as completely stupid and the recipient being like, “Damn.  Well I always knew she was challenged, this just proves it.” 

Apparently the hipsters with iPhones just don’t give two shits about whether or not they look like morons. 

I have 189 pages of auto correct mistakes to prove it.

  1. hahahaha. I have an iPhone && I do this kind of shit too. so far, just typing this my phone already tried to change shit to shut. && it's very adamant about it. it's a little rediculous. all I can say is I'm usually just typing && then hit send as I realize the mistake.

    but you do prove a good point.

I'm 22, finishing my first Bachelor's Degree in Education (of all things). I have no patience, I hate winter and snow, and I enjoy sitting around with a good book. I did the angsty livejournal thing back in high school, and I felt like it was time for me to graduate to a grown-up blog. I hope to be entertaining & create something fun to read.
