No Regerts.

No Regerts.

 

Before sending out a feedback request using speak to text, luckily I proofread it because what I meant to say was, "Please thank your clients for showing the property." Instead it replaced the word clients with clowns!

 

Can you imagine what the receiver would have thought had I not caught that?!

 

Communications, whether sent through text messages or emails, must be correct and to the point to avoid any misunderstandings. Otherwise, they might be one unintentional word, letter or comma away from disaster!

 

Am naturally a spell checker and it pains me to make a mistake! And yes, it does happen.

 

Also, incorrect punctuation can easily get a reader's attention, as in the case of the phrase, "Let's eat, grandma!" Without the well-placed comma, it says, "Let's eat grandma!" No one wants that to happen because she spoils the grandkids, bakes cookies and makes delicious homemade meals!

 

Social media is a fantastic platform to quickly get a message relayed, to continue a conversation or spark a response. Ensure the comment you wish to send is intended, rather than something that can create a questionable atmosphere of distrust or outright shock. 

 

Another version of trust but verify, often. While cannibalism is allowed in some parts of the world, I would truly regret having to explain grandma's sudden absence!

One that I do remember was telling someone Salut! but left out the 'a' in the word. Good thing I looked before it was sent, Hannah Williams!

You are hilarious Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! ! I'm still chuckling! I always have to double check when I ask Siri to text my words. Sometimes I find it hard to believe what was transcribed!

I have issues with the technology that thinks they are heling us when they start to replace words. It needs to be carefully read before sending.

I know exactly what you mean, Dorie Dillard Austin TX! Sometimes, it must think I have an accent when I axe it to do something...LOL!

It's more counterproductive when suggesting words it thinks you want to use, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. I prefer my own voice, thank you!

Wanda- this is funny and very true!!!  Between my thumbs and auto-correct, I have to read and reread everything. Even at that I'm not always successful.

Ironic but very true, I am not a fan of auto correct in texts either,  Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!  often I get funny texts from other agents and I know it was auto correct just as an example my name Endre comes in often as Endure

Well, there are a lot of clowns in the world today so the auto-correct might have actually been correct, haha.

Very cute, Wanda... but a serious message nonetheless! I don't use auto-correct... more times than not, I'm correct and auto-correct is not!

Hi Wanda,
Sometimes, I think proper grammar and punctuation is a dying art. Auto-correct while texting is rarely correct... so the name is a myth.

Most of the time, it's better to just type everything in as intended to send, Kathy Streib. Otherwise, it can lead to oopsies!

Have noticed that when I do make a mistake, the word looks a bit strange and then it hits me, Nina Hollander, Broker!

You may be right about that! So many disciplines are being taken out of public schools, thanks to the government, that people are becoming illiterate, Carol Williams.

@wand I have accidentally sent out a few embarrassing text messages in my time.  Some times even if I type what I want to say correctly, auto correct corrects it just as I am hitting send.

Best to stop and check it again before hitting the send button, George Souto! That auto-correct can be sneaky.
