Shades' Auto Correct

Post by _Yoda »

It looks like Shades' auto correct is at it again! LOL

If you type the initials E.W.C. and leave out the periods I just put in, it automatically spells out Everybody Wang Chung when posted.

Umm, you neglected to include your opinion on whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I think the motivation behind it, is that Shades is trying to cut down on the number of acronyms used, to make the board more readable for newer lurkers who wouldn’t have any idea what some of these things could stand for.

It'd be faster and easier to make an acronym key sticky...kinda like they have on most other forums ever been on.

It also makes things easier when posting from a tablet or phone.

For me, personally, I suppose it's a good thing. I can't really see where I would use the initials E.W.C. unless I wanted to refer to Everybody Wang Chung for short.

I guess it just becomes more complicated if someone wants to use those initials another way in a post.
