Crap. Alright, Jersey Girl... you win this round.

I'm using the ellipses in the proceeding sentence to indicate a pause, to mimic spoken English. Nothing was omitted.

Yah, yah, we all saw that-you capitalized Crap when it was a one word sentence. We covered that on page 1. Keep up!

I thought the rules were more like guidelines, Captain Jack?

Well, I didn't bring it up at the time, as I was concerned I might'a just further embarrassed myself but, Capitol S then h-i-t translates to "crap" after going through the deshadifier. Also " hominim" to "hominin" after spellcheck. In my defense, my eyes aren't entirely familiar enough with the proper "hominem" since I've never had to use it on anyone before.

Anyway, I've got my attorney on this too. Maybe you've heard of him, Saul Goodman. It'sallgood man

:lol: See? This is why I can NEVER explain to my family what attracts me to this place. I mean, seriously, who else has a 'deshadifier' that changes sh*t into crap but neglects to capitalize the C?????

Great. No way I'm asking my 20-somethings what 'blonging' is, nor do I drink Bia beer, so yet another need to
"copy a phrase and find" ITS "source easily."

(Notice I didn't quote H's sentence fully, as autocorrect clearly has a thing for unnecessarily adding apostrophes. I'm pretty sure some coder, now cackling to themselves as they descend into madness, did that on purpose. And yes, they is a plural reference to a singular coder. Read Sybil.)
Alright, you. But point taken. :)
:lol: seriously, though. Autocorrect is of the devil.

So true, Lem. I can't express my distain for the autocorrect function adequately. I prefer to read what others actually say, not what any given site administrator thinks those people should have said.

That's because the "s" word is usually used in the middle of a sentence, not as a single-word sentence. So to make it capitalize the C would leave you with the capitalized word "Crap" in the middle of a sentence 99.9% of the time.

And just think: If you could only discipline yourself to use your filthy language in the Telestial and Spirit Prison fora only, instead of here, then we wouldn't need an autocorrect function, would we?
