Here's a woman who is "explaining" how her friend got arrested for having child pornography on his computer, "accidentally."
Sat down to " unwind " on his computer and a box popped up in the lower corner. of the computer and he clicked on it and up comes a child open website and he clicked out. He was shocked ! 4 hrs. later cops broke down his door and was arrested for viewing the child poem.
Yah, well, child poem seems pretty harmless, all things considered. (I assume it's a typo, & what she meant was child porn - maybe her auto spellchecker couldn't believe she meant porn instead of poem?)
She also wrote, "child open," in addition to "child poem." So much for that whole, "Say what you mean" thing! I had to laugh at the whole post AND the fact that she believed what she was saying.

Yah, I saw that too. I assume that what we're looking @ here - & in a lot of these strange typos - is some kind of auto speller making suggestions to text it doesn't recognize. I'm more used to seeing this kind of thing complained about on smart-phones & similar - but if the person in the loop doesn't bother to look & make sure that that the suggestion is what he/she actually meant, & they just press SEND - well, we get what we get.
Spellcheckers are getting better, incrementally. & there are syntax checkers too - but you usually have to invoke those deliberately - they don't usually pop up by themselves & scan what you're writing - unless you set them up that way.
& of course, the whole notion of child porn is disturbing in & of itself. I'll grant you that babies typically grow up & have sexual lives, but I don't see any point to rushing the process. & the courts deal very severely with people convicted of those crimes - as well as - TMK - the ordinary inmates in stir.
"Illegal immigrants" are now referred to as "migrants" and this is across the entire media. As if "migration" is a normal, inborn human activitity like what birds and caribou do. Calling them "migrants" whitewashes the fact that they are "migrating" (presenting as normal) into areas already occupied and where a different culture has evolved as opposed to INVADING (which is what they are really doing. Not even animals "migrate" into hostile areas where they know they don't belong.
Changing the vocabulary on a wholesale basis ("illegal immigrants" to "migrants") exposes the collusion within the media.
OK, I'm all for the advancement of science, but these geneticists are going a little too far, IMO!
However, on a positive note, this allows more people to achieve that uniquely American ideal..."a home where the buffalo roam"!
