The iPod Touch vs. Strange, but Correct, Spelling
September 30th, 2008
The iPod Touch automatically corrects your misspellings, but sometimes you don’t want something to be corrected and you have to click on the little “x” that’s about the size of the tip of a pencil and no human finger can easily touch it.
Note: Some of these may have been fixed or changed with the most recent iPod System Update.
| Intended | Altered | Comments |
| “nes” | new | meaning Nintendo Entertainment System |
| Beatles | Beagles | The rock group |
| Rutles | Titles | Eric Idle’s Beatles parody |
| “Ob” | On | as in “Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da” |
| The letter “s” | a | e. g. S/H (shipping/handling) |
| ebay | eBay | officially it is eBay, but I prefer ebay |
| aka | ana | Also Known As without the periods |
Also:
pre (before) forcing to precision (‘accuracy’). Hmm.
