Yes I agree @Yvonne Smith My iPad comes up with words I've never heard of ,let alone try to pronounce ..if I let the iPad have its way fellow members would think I've lost my marbles I'm not sure where you turn the spell correction off ,thanks for the info on how to get it to add the correct word
Hey @Kate Ellery don't worry about the marbles. If we give it a little more time, maybe we'll find enough loose ones to play a good ole fashion game of marbles. Now all we have to do is remember how to play the game. I've still got about 25 marbles from when I used to beat my brother when we were kids. Now everytime my brother see my hard won trophy marbles, he likes to argue that I cheated, but worst of all he hated being beaten by a girl.
I went downstairs the other day and said ' Anyone found any marbles - I've lost mine' Also I said yesterday - 'I've got ginger nuts - do you want them ?'
I read this to my 25 year old grandson, and he laughed too. When I asked, "What's so funny?" He just rolled his eyes, and said "Grams!!!"
If you want to turn off the auto-correct, then go to "settings", then "general", and then "keyboard". There you will find all of the options for spelling and other keyboard options. I leave mine with the spell-check option on, that way, I can touch the word and if it is spelled incorrectly, it shows the correct spelling and changes it with a touch. The only one I turned off was the auto-correct; so now the iPad does not make up words when I mis-spell something.
Revolving Speakers : "So I turned round and said .....(" ...") and he turned round and said ...("..."). I was so angry that I turned round and said ...(" ...") and do you know what his brother did? He turned round and said ... (" ... "). Well, I turned round and I said to him ... (" ... ") I think that this may be a British English thing used in a gossipy conversation ..... makes me dizzy!
@Julie Stewart Ha ha ! My Sparky was saying this very thing to me yesterday ! 'He turned round and said - so I turned round and said ............' Drives us barmy ! We never do 'turn round and said' I've got vertigo anyway, so wouldn't do me any good
The other one that never fails to make me giggle is picturing this ................ A fella is knocking on the door with a ginger beard !
Some years ago I was learning to play guitar so that I could be in my church's 'praise and worship' band for evening services. The vicar was teaching me himself, as he played lead guitar. During one of the first weeks while I was practicing at home alone one of my guitar strings broke, so I rang to ask my vicar what to do. He was out visiting parishioners so his secretary had to take a message. What I said without thinking was " Please tell the vicar my G-string is broken." I never lived that one down!
Back when my boys were 8 and 10, I bought them an erector set for Christmas. When asked at my companies yearly party what I got the kids that year I said, "I bought my boys an errection set."
