Here's How To Solve Your Biggest Issue With Auto-Correct On Your Phone

There's nothing like having a rant. Whether your other half has forgotten your birthday, you're raging about something on the news or you've lost something, the word 'fuck' is necessary. Arguably, 'fuck' is the most common word used in the English language, after 'Hello' of course and we know that's only because of Adele's multi-platinum hit.

What's more annoying than the situation that's caused you to use the word 'fuck', 'fucking' or 'fucker'? Not being able to use that word when you're frantically texting thanks to your angelic blocker of a friend, autocorrect. Instead of the f-word you're left with 'duck', 'ducking' or 'ducker', none of which have the same ring to them.

For instance, if you're trying to alert your friend to the fact that you are being attacked by a large waterfowl you might try text them saying 'fuck, fuck, goose'! Your phone though, will have other plans. It will typically autocorrect this to 'duck duck goose', so that, rather than notifying your friend as to the immediate and direct threat being placed on your life by this large feathery prick, they will think you are simply embroiled in a wholesome childhood game.

If you're fed up with this sorry state of affairs, here's how you can spew your f-word-laden vitriol without the interference of autocorrect:

  • Add a new contact
  • Using lower cases, add the contact name as fuck fucking fucker
  • Enjoy being a foul mouth

This will override the autocorrect function on your phone for these words, removing this problem from your life for good, or at least until you get a new phone. Don't blame us if you accidentally text your boss, crush, ex 'fuck' instead of duck.
