Haha. No it was a typo. Easy to do on a phone. Sorry about the Gestapo thing. It didn't occur to me that it would be offensive, but of course I can understand that it is. I should've gone with the Stasi, but I don't like to edit screw ups that serve to remind me not to do the same thing in the future. I will if you would prefer, however.

    Easy to do on a phone.

Dude. Coming up with a word that isn't in the dictionary? Fucking impossible on a phone. I'd have to retype "everobe" six times before Siri would let it stand.

I'm also totally baffled by how it slipped through iOS's monitor. Now I can type it all I want, because once you type a word it gets into the lexicon. Everobe. It just autocorrected to that when I mistakenly typed a w. Wtf.

Sometimes I have to re-correct a word Autocorrect thinks it is "fixing" for me 3-4 times before it lets me pass it.

On the bright side I have finally taught it "ain't." On the down side it refuses, absolutely refuses, to learn curses. It will stop correcting them for me but it won't ever auto- to a curse.

now if there was only some way to get everobe from your phone's dictionary into the fb Scrabble dictionary. I was actually stuck with e -v-e-r-o-b-e the other day, and the best I could do was bevor.

If there were a hanging s you could do verbose.
