phone suggesting NASTY words

Post by shubla »

These days many phones if not all are suggesting words as you type. What are your experiences with them?

My own experiences are pretty terrible.
I am naturally using Finnish keyboard on my phone, thus it suggests Finnish words. The problem is that the phone often suggests dirty words completely unrelated to what I am typing. It started with words like "big tits" but now it has progressed to words like "anal play" and things relates to pee. It is quite disturbing when your phone throws words like these on your screen when you type.
Also think of the small children who get words like these thrown in their faces!

And no, I have never written those words on my phones keyboard (or any other keyboard).

I wonder what causes it, are all other Finnish people only using their phones for perverted things?

It would be cool to know if you have maybe similiar experiences with your phone, perhaps in some other languages than Finnish.

edit: as an example, when I was typing "NASTY" to the title, my phone suggested "MASTURBOI"

Perhaps in english there is some filtering done.
With small languages like Finnish no one filters the bad words.

Predictive text is also based on your own use of words or phrases in conversations, the more commonly used words being predicted more frequently of course. Just stop telling your mom how big her tits are so often.

I especially wrote in the OP that these are not caused by my own typing habits.

Does someone else have access to your phone and has put in some auto-corrections, like the person who changed their mums phone so that it changed "no" to "yes".

I highly doubt it, as there so many cases of NASTY words being suggested!

A classic one is the person with poor typing skills who attempted to send birthday wishes to someone else and instead announced, "Hairy butt day!" It's probably apocryphal, of course.
