iPhone Keyboard Leads to Typso

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the see-get-it-i-was-being-funny dept.

jfruhlinger writes "One of the selling points of the iPhone was its revolutionary touch-screen full keyboard. But a study has shown that text messages sent from iPhones contain significantly more typso than messages from phones with other kinds of keyboards — and aren't entered any faster."

    What's with the dont*mebro tags as of late? While I find them hilarious, I am confused as to their origin.

      "Don't taze me bro" is the new slashdot meme. It was originally uttered by that guy that was tazered at a John Kerry forum at a university. Looking down the story history, "dontwavemebro" was a pun used for the story dealing with microwaves being used to remotely disable cars.

      If only there was a way to make money off a meme, that guy would be rich!

      The original phrase is "Don't tase me, bro!". Google it or see a helpful summary here (not my blog).

    they appear to still be walking & talking (lying), but in reality they've traded their blackened souls for just a bit more greed/fear/ego based resource to continue their life0cidal path of harming more&more of the creators' innocents. the big flash is (literally) at hand.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators, providing more than enough of everything (using an unlimited supply of newclear power), without any of the self serving motives (see also: greed/fear/ego) that many of us succumb to, since/until forever. see you there?

    Meh is the word that nerds use to try to act cool. It does not work. When you use this word in a post, it only makes it more clear that you are in fact a nerd. Use it in a post title and you are a supernerd (as if commenting on slashdot wasn't evidence enough).

    likewise, to my dismay, "you" will degrade to "u" probably Such an abomination cannot be allowed to happen. Gentlemen, when the terrorists try to nuke our country, let's not stop them.
