Hmmm. I think your phone played Judas here. It has betrayed you.

Made in Aba phones

I don't type words in shortcut form. I think it is ridiculous. I'd have to learn to spell wrongly then practise it. Autocorrect is a nightmare.

BEWARE! YOUR SMART PHONE MAY BE TEACHING YOU BAD ENGLISH
You need to watch it because your child’s smart phone may be teaching him/her bad English and even you as an adult.
Have you noticed the problem of English spelling with some recently released Android smart phones? It is unfortunate that at a time parents are complaining and lamenting that abbreviation words in the social media (text messages, facebook, whatsapp, twitter etc) has made mess of the ability of our youth to read and write good English.

And now most smart phones key boards are not helping matters rather they are compounding the problem of writing good and correct spelling of some English words. I don’t know why the manufacturers of these phones decided to omit some compound words from the English vocabulary? I as one, am finding it unbearable to tolerate this.

EXAMPLES : The following words are missing seriously from these smart phones/keyboards
1. Behind as” bind”
2. Vehicles = as “vicle “
3. Kehinde as “kinde”
4. Behold as “bold”
5. Apprehend as “append”
6. Household as ”housold”
7. Behave as “bave”
8. Behavior s “baviour”
9. Beheaded as “beaded”
10. Behalf as “balf”
11. Apprehensive as “apprensive” etc, etc (You can add yours as well)

Check out these wrong spelling of words in all the social media write ups and broadcasts and you will be amazed.

The question should be, are these new ways of spelling English words? What went wrong and who is to be blamed for all these: the Phone manufacturers of the keyboard owners? What is the solution to this problem or don’t we see it as a big problem?

Guy go and buy original phone and let us rest.

My autocorrect enable keyboard don finish me makes me luk silly sometimes

Oga chill. You don't use 'unable' when you are trying to make that kind of statement. You get that?
And you also should know that saying 'when did unable BECAME a wrong word...... Is wrong. BECOME is the correct word for that statement.

Your phone keyboard probably has a wrong dictionary. This is not a general problem. Stop the baseless generalization.

It is not a wrong word but it is wrongly used in that context. The same way became is wrongly used in your quote.

How did this topic make the front page? The information the OP is propagating is wrong. Only shows the "Moderators" of this forum are not doing their Jobs properly.
